PAGANISM: One who is not a Christian, Muslim, or Jew, especially a worshiper of a polytheistic religion.
Basically, in my own words..
it's someone who doesn't believe in that stuff or who doesn't practice it or whatever.

Paganism is pretty much an umbrella term that covers a wide range of spiritual beliefs and practices. Gods and goddesses abound, typically as personifications of powers inherent in nature. While not all pagans may acknowledge nature, most pagans find a deep spiritual connection in nature and express reverence for nature. However the divine may be defined, many pagans experience the divine in nature or emanating through nature. It is also possible to drop the gods and goddesses altogether and merely to worship or revere the divine either as expressed in and/or through nature...or even to connect with the divine as ultimate mystery...She who has many names and many faces.

Depends what branch of paganism you want to look into. There's more types of pagans than there are Judeo-Christian religions. There's Satanism and its various sects, including LaVeyan Satanism. There's Wicca, there's believers in the Nordic faiths (Odin, Loki, Valhalla, etc), there's people that believe in mystic things like chakras and are very spiritual and new-age about faith.... there is NO stereotype for it, and the range of people that look into pagan beliefs ranges from just teenagers playing with Ouija boards and tarot decks to people performing black mass rituals.

The whole meaning of paganism is summed up in their creed. "As long as you HARM NONE, do what you will." You can believe anything you want and practice anything you want as long as no one is harmed by it.
