To Redglory, not all Pagans whorsip multiple God/desses. Some belive in one creator. The only difference is that they see the creator in EVERYTHING and choose to whorship in nature instead of a building because they feel closer to thier creator there.
I would call a pagan with Christian ideals, just another person that has found a way to blend nature and the love of all things with thier belief of God's power.

There is a theological word for it: syncretism.
Arguably, a certain amount of syncretism happened when pagan days of worship, like winter solstice and spring equinox, got adopted into Christian worship.

Impossible!
Someone can't be both; considering a pre-requisite for Christianity is believing in ONE AND ONLY God....there can't be any others. Idolatry is heavily shunned within the Christian church - the Bible's teachings condemn it.
So, if someone is claiming to be both, than I guess that makes them polytheistic ~ not Christian.
IF anyone tells you any different, they are mis-informed or simply misleading you.
God Bless.

Pagan beliefs and Christian beliefs are totally different. Pagan rituals are just something man does and so do christian rituals. You don't see Christians praying to the moon goddess or the tree goddess. Nice try.

I don't think it is possible to be both Christian and pagan at the same time. Paganism implies the worship of other gods while Christianity necessitates the worship of the One Triune God of the Bible.

Christians are pagan and christian, only they don't know it.
If you claim to be pagan and christian, don't call it anything; cause etiquette dictates that such things are not fit topics for conversation.

This is what pagans call themslves when they are worried about appearance, and have a guilty conscience.
