Originally, the term 'pagan' was used to represent the people who were neither Jews nor Christians. The old germanic paganism was not a doctrinal theology, which had a religious founder as such, but a community that emerged due to a common ideology. Nowadays it denotes people who do not believe in the traditional faiths of Abrahamic monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). Pagans are generally regarded as people who have spiritual beliefs and cultic practices of any folk religion. |
