Depends on the pagan. "Paganism" is an umbrella term that covers a lot of ground (sort of like "Christianity" - not all people who are considered followers of Christianity believe all the same things). Druids, Shamans, Wiccans, Asatruar are all considered "pagan" but have *very* different beliefs!

A good resource would be to go to http://www.religioustolerance.org and look up "paganism" - they have some really good information.

In general, pagans believe in a higher power (they may be monotheistic or pantheistic), their beliefs are centered around the cycle of the year (solstices, equinoxes, planting and harvest times), and very few pagan religions believe that theirs is "the only way" or "the only true religion".

Technically, Pagan is any faith that is not of the Abraham faiths (Christianity, Hebrew, Muslim). This is quiet an umbrella term so it is hard to say what they believe in and not. A lot of the neo-pagan believes are Earth based religions which mean that we feel the Earth has a spirit and is sacred just as all life is sacred. There are also many beliefs that are reconstructions of older faiths (i.e. Asatru = Norse). So it is almost impossible to say what an umbrella term like Pagan stands for.

Do you have any idea how many Pagan religions there are? Its not like Christianity. They aren't all denominations of one religion. ALL religions that aren't Christian are Pagan.

No one can possibly answer that question. It would require hours and hours of typing. Do your own research.
