You are right in the strictest sense Bagpuss. I may have read too much into daylia's post. I just think it is best to be honest about the agendas people are working with, especially in cases like Starhawk's activism. It has not been without controversy in the anti-war and eco-feminist movements, ESPECIALLY among feminists.

I have no problem with Starhawk myself, just as I don't have problems with Catholic nuns and priests, or Lutheran pastors, or Jewish rabbis involved in the movements for social justice. But when religion is one of the agendas activists are either working from and/or towards, they are usually up front and honest about it. Just as there are people who DO have difficulty working with activists pursuing a Catholic or Jewish agenda, for instance, there are also some activists who have difficulty working activists pursuing a New Age agenda. That is all I was trying to get at.
