Pagan (disambiguation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pagan may refer to:
- One who does not follow any religion formed by Abraham or his sons, including the three basic foundations: Islam, Judaism, or Christianity, as well as its subreligions.
- One who follows a religion of European, North African, West Asian or Pre-Columban American origin and who is not Christian, Muslim or Jewish, or who does not worship the God of Abraham. Such usage, while traditional in the above three religions, may be considered derogatory. There is some disagreement about the application of the word to the religions of Southern and Eastern Asian origin (eg. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism). While Jews, Muslims and Christians traditionally consider them to be pagan on the basis of worshiping gods other than the God of Abraham, followers of these religions sometimes eschew the designation.
