Paganism
"Pagan" and "heathen" redirect here. For other usages, see Pagan (disambiguation) and Heathen (disambiguation)Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "an old country dweller, rustic") is a term which, from a Western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or cultic  practices or beliefs of any folk religion, and of historical and contemporary polytheistic religions in particular.The term can be defined broadly, to encompass the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of JudaismChristianity, and Islam. The group so defined includes the Indian religions (such as HinduismJainism), Native American religions and mythologies and Shinto as well as non-Abrahamic ethnic religions in general. More narrow definitions will not include any of the world religions and restrict the term to local or rural currents not organized as civil religions. Characteristic of Pagan traditions is the absence of proselytism, and the presence of a living mythology which explains religious practice.
