2008 PUG themes - revised

[Adam Maas]

No, Pagan simply means non-Judeo-christian religions, more specifically the ones of European Origin (It's from the latin Paganus, which means country dweller or rustic). The usage is really an adaptation of the Jewish term Gentile. A Christian may be many things to a non-Christian, but they won't be Pagan.
