thanks Bruce,
sure you are not pagan, it is just name of days. It is found by human, make a public agreement to start then bingo... we agree the sequence as it is.
some religion believe that they must worship their g-d on certain day as commanded. But if they start to think the day come from an agreement!
Do they think that G-d has day? If Yes, then no body know when the day was initialy started by G-d
Peace
(for those who asked me what my point is)

The Germanic languages, including English, substitute Nordic gods with similar characteristics for many of the Roman gods, although the Nordic gods themselves never were associated with the planets.
The English names for the days of the week derive from the Anglo-Saxon deities stemming from the indigenous pantheon of the Anglo-Saxons. Thursday and Friday come from Scandinavian deities Thor and Frida. An exception to this is Saturday, which takes its name from the Roman deity Saturn. To varying extents, most regions with dominant Germanic languages practice a similar naming convention, basing most of their week days in recognition of their native Germanic deities.

Our English language predates Christianity, and our days were named by pagans. But that doesn't compel me to worship Thor or Frida.
Cheers,
Bruce

Look at the Latin origins and the German names.
For example, Tuesday comes from the Norse God Tyr,
Friday was named after the Norse goddess Frigg
Thursday was named after Thor, the Norse God of Thunder (also, in German, Thursday is called Donnerstag, and Donnor is the German word for thunder)
Monday= Moon Day
Wednesday was named for Wodin, the Norse King of the Gods
Saturday= Saturn's Day
