  Ranter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ranters were a radical English sect in the time of the Commonwealth, who were regarded as heretical by the established Church of that period.
Ranters were often associated with nudity, which they may have used as a manner of social protest as well as religious expression as a symbol of abandoning earthly goods.
Ranters were accused of antinomianism, fanaticism, and sexual immorality, and put in prison until they recanted.

 Ranters
The Ranters were an antinomian and spiritualistic English sect in the time of the Commonwealth, who may be described as the remains of the Seekers.
Their central idea was pantheistic, that God is essentially in every creature, but though many of them were sincere and honest in their attempt to express the doctrine of the Divine immanence, they were in the main unable to hold the balance.
The Ranters came into contact and even rivalry with the early Quakers, who were often unjustly associated with them.

 FIVE TESTS FOR DISCERNING A TRUE LEADING
The problem was made urgent for the Quakers because they were regularly labeled by men of their time as "Ranters." The actual Ranters were a religious movement of the Seventeenth Century that superficially resembled the Friends and used much the same religious language.
Ranters claimed that since they were redeemed and led by the Spirit, they could do no wrong, and so followed impulses into all kinds of immorality and anarchy.
Friends said that the Ranters "fled the cross," and that the true Spirit was always contrary to self-will and led to righteousness.

 Tony Cliff: Class Struggle and Women's Liberation (Chap.1)
The sexual revolution, whether in the shape the Diggers gave it, or the Ranters, was a step forward from the old double-standard morality in sexual matters.
Both Diggers and Ranters were also very clear about the relation between private property and sex and dreamt of a world in which there would be collective ownership of wealth and freedom for the individual.
Their vision was a foretaste of the free society of the future, when men and women would develop as whole human beings.

 A Prophet of the Ranters
Coppe flourished during the Interregnum in Britain, 1640-1660, a time of turmoil and revolution.
David observed that Coppe's wildness as one of the prophets of the Ranter sect found expression in our own times in characters like Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, who had started up the Diggers group on the Lower East Side of New York, sharing everything in common and generally raising hell with the established order.
In recent years, several important works have shed light on Coppe's milieu; one scholar contends that he was not actually a member of the Ranters group, though contemporaries believed that he was.

 Communalism (4) (Rexroth)
If they practiced community of goods, nudism, speaking with tongues, and sexual orgies it was all part of a frantic, hurried, and hunted life lived in a state of unrelieved excitement.
Some Ranters were simply extreme Spiritualists, descendants of Meister Eckhart and the Rhineland mystics; and with the Restoration of Charles II they were absorbed into the Quakers.
They really lay completely outside the development of English Puritanism.
