You're going to lose people if you put 'pagan' in the byline.
I've hung out at a lot of boards over the years. The ones that don't tout any particular religion have better content, they have knowledgeable readers.
The pagan boards generally have "Divination" as a subforum, and it's full of people talking about what decks they have, how "powerful" they are, how they "cleanse" them, what crystals they keep with them. But no evidence that any of these people actually know how to read them. I don't know why this is, since pagans exist who can read cards, etc., but they're not at those boards. And those boards are the pits.
These days, when I'm looking for a forum if I see 'pagan' I just keep looking. I doubt I'm the only one.
