Pagan (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pagan may refer to:

• One who worships outside the main religions of the surrounding culture, Muslim, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. Many worship without a set doctrine or even to a specific Deity. Generally polytheistic in nature, monotheistic 'Pagans' are not unheard of, and most have a close affinity to nature. A majority of 'Pagans' are self taught or have come to their own conclusions about God and religion, some going so far as to claim they are spiritual and not religious.

• One who follows any non-Abrahamic religion, as opposed to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and their denominations and sects

• One who follows a religion of European, North African, Asian or Pre-Columban American origin and who is not Christian, Muslim or Jewish, or who does not worship the God of Abraham exclusively. Such usage, while traditional in the above three religions, may be considered derogatory. There is some disagreement about the application of the word to the religions of Southern and Eastern Asian origin (eg. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shinto). While Jews, Muslims and Christians traditionally consider them to be pagan on the basis of worshiping gods other than the God of Abraham, followers of these religions sometimes eschew the designation
