I cannot believe there are still people who think that anything that is not Christian is pagan! A whole internet full of resources and that is the best you can come up with? How woefully ignorant.

Pagan beliefs are basicly that we are all one with nature. That whatever you do will come back to you.
Some believe the good comes back 3 fold while the evil 10.
Most also believe in a Goddess figure. Don't know where this woman is to be or if it is a symbol of the earth. But at least she's not killing children like the Christian God!

Hey, don't worry about your spelling. I am not a spelling basher.
Please log on to your Wikipedia and type the word pagan to get a good definition.
My Websters Dictionary defines a pagan as one who has no religion or a heathen.
Without offending anyone, that is a definition from a dictionary.

There are many Pagan beliefs and they are all different. Paganism is usually a word that describes any religion that isn't Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Studying about Wicca might be your best bet. I think it's the most popular pagan belief.

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "a country dweller" or "civilian") is a term which, from a western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or religious beliefs and practices of natural or polytheistic religions. The term can be defined broadly, to encompass many or most of the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This group may include the Dharmic religions, which technically incorporate pagan characteristics like nature-worship, polytheism and reverence of female deities, and are thus diametrically opposite to the Abrahamic faiths. "Pagan" is the usual translation of the Islamic term mushrik, which refers to 'one who worships something other than The God of Abraham'. Ethnologists avoid the term "paganism," with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as shamanism, polytheism or animism. The term is also used to describe earth-based Native American religions and mythologies, though few Native Americans call themselves or their cultures "pagan". Historically, the term "pagan" has usually had pejorative connotations among westerners, comparable to heathen, infidel and kaffir (كافر) in Islam. In modern times, though, the words "pagan" or "paganism" have become widely and openly used by some practitioners of certain spiritual paths outside the Abrahamic and Dharmic religious mainstream to describe their beliefs, practices, and organized movements.

Pagan's are those that believe in the old religions. Worshiping nature and so forth. When Christianity decided to sweep the world and snuff out all non believers, those who believed in their original faith, were labeled as "Pagan".
Or course, there is always "People Against Goodness And Normalcy"

You could google it. But then again there are so many different Pagan Religions out there, you could be googling all day. I'm a Druid and spend loads of time studying different faiths, so if you ever want to sit down and learn, go ahead and throw me a message.

friend, I think you mean "pagan".
If you just search "pagan belief" on your computer - like google, you can find out about it.
and yes this is a very controversial section with more nuts than a forest of nothing but oak trees.
god bless,
