All pagans are welcome to be in the church building.
The church is like a spiritual hospital. It is there to help those who are spiritually sick.

I've got a small technical problem:
My "church" is the Church of Christ, which will come together when Christ returns. You mean organized religions, and I do not belong to any of them; but: I would think that if a Church doesn't allow a pagan in - so that they can hear the doctrine, and then be able to make a choice - then that church would actually be working against God, wouldn't you say?
In my Church, if you wanna be a member, you gotta go to the Head of it - Christ; if he accepts you, who am I to tell you any different. I don't have the authority to say who does and does not enter Gods House. Its Gods House, and its up to Him who goes in it.

Except for Unitarian Univerisalist, all religions discriminate or maybe it's pagans that don't want to go to churches. Pagans generally worship outside and only come indoors when weather doesn't permit. Most of them only go to UU like a community center but are finding coffee shops and bookstores serve better since those places only see what's in your wallet and they encourage us to be there.

Everyone is permitted in my church. Everyone, including pagans, has a potential to be changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. So not allowing some will result in limiting the power of the gospel. God loves all people with undying love and wants all to be saved.

The church (as in that body of believers in Christ) has been told directly by HIM, to bring the message of love to all people.To bring those ( ALL People) folks to understand He would like to live with them forever. He made us to be loved by Him and in return love Him. The tough part for many is to understand He is holy and cannot abide sin. After many years of mankind trying to improve them selves and in doing that have proved incapable of a sin free life . He sent Jesus to us to show the example of a sin free life and then assigned Him His own Son ALL THE SINS committed by everyone for all times not only past and present but future too.The purpose was to reunite all of us to HIM. He does have a requirement however ......that is we must believe HE did that and say so.

Allow pagans to do what? Where? Huh?
All who are repectful are welcome at Catholic masses; the only "discrimination" is that the Roman Catholic Church requires you to be Catholic to receive Eucharist since the RCC have very specific beliefs about that sacrament. I wouldn't say it's discrimination, just the rules they have set.

Churches (at least mine) aren't in the habit of closing their doors to anyone. I will admit if you are an avid pagan you probably wouldn't come to church, but you would be welcomed.
