It's not that they aren't allowed to participate, it's that they aren't applying.

Even large pagan organizations, including Pagan Pride groups, Local interfaith networks, even really big covens, like Assembly of the Sacred Wheel can't get it together long enough to decide on a project, get people together to do it, and keep doing it ... The largest pagan organization in Philly has been doing canned food drives for years. A canned or shelf-stable food item has been the admission fee to their events for as long as they have been in existence. That's the best they can manage. And they aren't generating a lot of canned goods. Pagans are great about talking about stuff. They come up very, very short on doing anything about it.

El, I didn't expect "Christians are out to get me" paranoia from you, bud.
