Druidry is a Religion with Art

American illustrator Timothy Babulski, who lives in North Carolina has launched a website for a new religious artform, Druid Art. His argument for the art form as religious is backed up by a Time Magazine report last week:

"Next year's summer-solstice celebration at Stonehenge just got a little more interesting. For the first time, the ancient pagan tradition of Druidry--whose adherents worship nature, animist forces--has been recognized as an official religion. The Charity Commission for England and Wales granted the Druit Network, a 350-member group, charitable status, so it can now receive exemptions from taxes on donations, just like other clerical groups. The U.K. has about 10,000 Druids." 

While this news may come as a surprise for some American Fundamentalists, they should note that the US government recognized Druidry as a tax exempt American religion in 1977, long before the UK.
