Patheos.com is a marvelous clearinghouse of religious articles and blogs, from the atheist to the Zen. The recent "notable atheist who is converting to Catholicism", Leah Libresco, has her online home there. (She has always been more of an agnostic, and she is only noteworthy because of Patheos and that she is converting to Catholicism, but I digress.)
"The House of Vines" is by genuinely noteworthy Dionysus worshipper Sannion. Sannion is an ex-Catholic I believe, but even if he's not, he still has the passion for the very mythic, ecstatic and syncretistic side of Catholicism, particularly as it is found in Sicily. (Madonna di Tindari in the casa!)
Star Foster, editor of the Pagan Portal of Patheos, recently wrote a column named, "Why I Reject Jesus". There's already been two columns in response, both of which are kind of what I'm thinking about what she has to say. All the links are in the comments, after Sannion's very funny take on it.
