Pagans have never left and neither have Wiccans. It's alive and well. Take a look at a publication like Pagan Dawn to see what's going on in our world.

Paganism is a broad term to describe a diverse religious group. Paganism started with the first humans on earth; there are some reasons to believe that it started even before that with homo-erectus and the Neanderthals. All Pagans don't believe the same things. There are many different traditions and cultures. In Africa the first humans and the first Pagan traditions started. Animism is the oldest known religion on planet earth and is Pagan. Paganism (in all sects) is to do mainly with nature, mysticism and magick. The traditions, rituals and beliefs are different from sect to sect. So to ask if you believe in Paganism is a really broad question. I believe in some sects, others I don't see the need to believe in so don't mind them but just don't read up on it as much.

The christian religion took most of it's sybology from the Pagans, twisted thier stories, made good symbols into bad, even christmas was taken from them. Paganism is just earth worship, and has been demonized by the church. The cross itself was a Pagan symbol, long ago.

Sure look at the cristians. They never could even count to 3. 3 in One? just another way of paganizm no matter how hard they jum to refuse it. Plus the whole bible is based on pagans stories. Did cristina invent anything on their own?
Virgin birth of gads son was way before Moses went to desert.
Resurection? Common it was done even by greeks.
There always has been one major god and other gods were under 1 command. The Cristinas just modified that but never come up with anything new. Plagiats.

Off course I do. I am a Hindu.
Hinduism believes in Annimism, nature worship, sun worship... Mother goddess....... up to Nirgun Brahm.
Hinduism is a tradition., a process a life style. The ideas have been evolving through out the history and still are. But it never rejected any previous belief. It rather incldes new things.
Some ideas are contradictory and not all Hindus believe and follow same philosophies. Still they are all Hindus and have underlying connection with each other. For one all of us accept that God is present in everything, and each spiritual path lead to Him only.

Unfortunately paganism exists. Either it is a statue build by the hands and a perception of physical senses in a limited fashion or even worst and more subtle, the idol we bow to within our chests.

Paganism is the worship of the things in nature instead of worshiping the creator of nature. The creator doesn't appreciate that very much.

Are you asking if Paganism exists? If so, I'm here and I'm Pagan, thus, it's very much real.

No,pagans believe in false gods. They delight in sensual pleasures and material goods.

it seems that people who dont study religion dont really know what paganism is. its a set of beliefs in nature and magic of the light and god. they worship true gods not false idols. if you want to call it false idols look at your cross with jesus on it thats a idol and false. i for one sooner enjoy what humans where given at the beginning of the creation of man. simple enjoyments and pleasures of the flesh are not evil or wrong. most of the sins in the bible are wrong to many non christians
