The term Paganism has
been broadly defined as anyone involved in any religious act, practice, or
ceremony which is not Christian. Jews and Muslims also use the term to refer to
anyone outside their religion. Others define it as religions outside of
Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, while some simply define it as being
without a religion.
The term pagan is from the Latin paganus,
an adjective originally meaning "rural", "rustic" or
"of the country." The term is also used as the equivalent of
Polytheism.
