Fred Sanford was a Heathen. Aunt Esther always said so. :)

There are lots of Pagan clubs on Yahoogroups and you can find more at witchvox.com
Heathens are generally followers of the aboriginal faiths of Northern Europe, Nordic, Icelandic, etc.
Pagans are pretty much everyone else. You could call Heathens Pagans, but they like to be differentiated with their own name. There is quite a difference, really. Heathens are not as um... tree-huggish? As other Pagans and are much more into blood and roots. (Not as in bloodletting, as in blood-kinship)

Heathen is a word used by Christians to express how anyone unlike them are not "of their god". Basically, heathens are going to hell, sinners, Satan worshipers. But if you really study paganism, you will see it is nothing like that. Its a very peaceful, and nature based belief. Being in tune with everyone and your surroundings. Much like native Americans and animism(not sure if that is spelled correctly).......which is also considered a pagan belief.......and heathen.

Heathen is generaly used by jews and christians as "not one of us".....
Pagans are a group of people with similar personal religions.... they have the same gods and the like and where the prodominate faith amoung the celts untill christanity was forced on them.

heathens are anyone who doesn'tbelong to your religion, and pagan is a term that engulfs a whole pantheon of non yahewah/allah based religions.

Pagans believe in a god of balance, mother-nature, gaia, so on.
