If pagans, wiccans, and other religions who do not believe in are evil then what do they think of the people that do believe in god?
So if I am evil for not believing in you does that make you evil in not believing in me?

But who said that these religions believe in Satan? Now yes their are some people who claim they are Pagan and Wiccan, and say "Oh we believe that Satan is god" Well they are not That religion just knock offs, and people who are confused. A real Pagan worships whatever he/she truly believes in I.E. grrek gods, nothing, big bang, evolution, if you look up Pagan in a dictionary it says country person. Now Wiccans are different, they believe from what I know that their is several gods/goddesses. They also Do not use magic for evil but for healing, live, and good fortune.

Look you did not completely understand what I pointed out. I am pagan, well mostly. I wasn't pointing out why Pagans were evil, but was pointing out why some catholics think it. =)

You are assuming that all Pagans are white-lighters and that is simply not the case. I'm well aware that there's good and evil in the world, I just view it differently then say a Christian would.

Good and evil are not constants. What is good in one case will not be good in another, and evil in one circumstance will not be evil under a different set of conditions. In any one instance, the right course of action will have been shaped by the influence of the past and the present. The result may or may not be "good" or "evil", but it will still be the right action.

In no case are good and evil dictated to us by the edicts of an alien, authoritarian deity, as in the Middle East. We are expected to use our freedom, responsibility, and awareness of duty to serve the highest and best ends.

As for my opinion about Atheists (I'm assuming that's what you meant by "non-god worshipers"), I don't think they are evil, why would I? Most Atheists I know are very moral and honorable people. I judge people by their actions not by their beliefs.

And if you meant to call Pagans "non-god worshipers (you were not very clear), I'll have you know I do worship Gods and Goddesses, many of them in fact. So do not call Pagans "non-god worshipers".

I've gotta agree with Kallan - I'm Pagan, and I believe that evil exists. I just don't consider it to be all the work of Satan. There's plenty of other things out there that are fully capable of being "evil" entirely on their own.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that just because you are not a Christian that it doesn't necessarily mean that you do not believe in god.

That is just the narrow mindedness of the Christians. If you don't believe the same way they do, you are wrong and therefore must be evil and an atheist.

I don't understand what a non-god worshipper is. I always defined worship as praying to a higher form ( God ). If you worship or pray, but not to some sort of "god" , what do you worship ?
Anyway I have to give an answer, so I'll say maybe

Who said we don't believe in evil? Just because we've educated ourselves to the origins of your phantom fallen angel that you've promoted to "god" status, doesn't mean we don't see evil in the world, and just because we don't buy into your mythos doesn't mean we hide our heads in the sand and pretend it isn't there.
If you lay claim to the "old testament" which is Jewish.. then why don't the jews believe in satan like you do?
He isn't a fallen angel to them. He's in god's employ. You might want to try to study a bit before trying to pull this one.

Some are, but then again some god worshipers are evil too.
