What is a practicing Pagan?

Answer 1

I am.
There are many different opinions on just what Pagan, and NeoPagan, means. You will come across many who feel that their personal definition is the only correct one. Today, no consensus exists, even within a single faith tradition or religion. Here we will explore the meaning of the word “Pagan” and then come to a straightforward and modern definition of Pagan to work with, as you learn to develop your own informed opinion.
The word "Pagan" comes from the Latin word "paganus". The most common accepted translation of “paganus” is “one who dwells in the country or outlying village”. It is thought that early Christians adopted this word as a derogatory term referring to the fact that those who lived in more rural areas were less educated and clung to the pre-Christian traditions and folklore. Basically, the old definition of “Pagan” was similar to the modern slang “hick” or “redneck”.
Some theorize that within the early Roman Empire, "paganus" came to mean "civilian" as opposed to "military." Meaning that a “paganus” was an ordinary citizen. Early Christians often called themselves "miles Christi" meaning “Soldiers of Christ”. Thus, non-Christians became "pagani" -- non-soldiers or civilians. In this context, “Pagan” or “paganus” is not derogatory, rather simply a word describing a person’s place within society.
Some suggest that “Pagan” was merely meant a person who was an outsider, or one who did not fit in or belong with the rest of society. Much as the Scottish Gaelic word “Sassenach” meaning “outlander” came to mean a person who was not a native of Scotland. When used as slang, “Sassenach” was a derogatory term for the English.
By the third century CE, the meaning of the word “Pagan” had evolved to include all non-Christians. Due to the paranoia of the early Christian Church, it became an evil term that implied Satan worship. These two meanings are still in widespread use today.
Today, among Wiccans, Druids, Heathens, etc, “Pagan” has become an umbrella term for a spiritual path that is Earth centered, a reconstruction or modernizing of pre-Christian faiths, and/or any religion that has a deity concept outside of the monotheist Judeo-Christian parameters. It should be pointed out, that many argue that such faiths as Hinduism and Buddhism can fall into this category, and why not? However, most Hindus and Buddhists do not to use this term to define their religion.
Let us suggest then, that “Pagan” refers to a group of religious traditions, much as Christianity, Islam and Judaism are. Let us suggests that the traditions under this umbrella are, for the most part; modern, Earth centered, and rebuildings or continuations of pre-Christian religions.
A practising Pagan is someone who practises Paganism. Probably someone who makes Paganism part of thier daily life and routine.

Answer 2

I did like Dorie's answer...snicker snicker snicker....okay okay. I'm a practicing Pagan. (yes, I think I've got all my lines....stop that or I'll say Macbeth) I practice my faith as do any other person of any other religion. Just because the Big Three (Christian/Judaism/Islam) hasn't chosen to recognize my faith as a religion doesn't bother me one whit. I still talk to God. I just happen to do it outside the building and by myself. I'm considered a "solitary" Pagan. Others, such as covened Wiccans and Neo-Pagan collections simply have their own services in a group. They're still "practicing" (laaaaaa) their faith.

Answer 3

Believe it or not, paganism is a religion that predates Christianity. So...just like a practicing Catholic or Jew or whatever, they are practicing their religion. I know Pagan has come to mean 'god-less', but that isn't true.

Answer 4

Wiccans or Neo-Pagans.

Someone who worships nature and goddesses instqead of the Judeo-Christian God.
