Om Paganisme

Fra wikipedia.com; Paganism refers to a very broad set of religious beliefs and practices which are characterized by polytheism and less commonly animism. Many pagan religions are based on nature, and these are also called nature-based religions. Paganism predates modern monotheism, although its origins are lost in prehistory. In one well-established sense, paganism is the belief in any non-monotheistic religion, and in this sense it is often used pejoratively by adherents to monotheistic religions (such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam) for adherents of non-monotheistic religions.
Fra dictionary.com; any of various religions other than Christianity or Judaism or Islamism
Fra soc.religion.paganism; 5a) What is Paganism? How is it different from paganism?
Paganism (with a capital "P") is one strand of neopaganism which strives to allow each person to draw from whatever religious and cultural traditions are meaningful for the individual. The practices of Paganism derive from those of Wicca, but are not identical with those of Wicca. Some people view Paganism as a non-initiatory form of Wicca, or Wicca as an initiatory form of Paganism. Some say that Witches are the clergy of Paganism. (On the other hand, some Witches vigorously disagree with that viewpoint. As with most things in this FAQ, there is no answer with which everyone can completely agree.) You may also find this flavor being called "eclectic paganism."
6) What are different types of paganism?
PALEO-PAGANISM: the cultural/mythological progenitor of neopaganism; a pagan culture which has not been disrupted by being "civilized" by another culture - -Australian Bushmen modern (who are probably becoming meso-pagans), ancient Celtic religion (Druidism), the religions of the pre-"patriarchal" cultures of Old Europe, Norse religion, pre-Columbian Native American religions, etc.
CIVILO-PAGANISM: the religions of "civilized" communities which evolved in paleo-pagan cultures -- Classical Greco-Roman religion, Egyptian religion, Middle-Eastern paganism, Aztec religion, etc.
MESO-PAGANISM: a group, which may or may not still constitute a separate culture, which has been influenced by a conquering culture, but has been able to maintain an independence of religious practice --many Native American nations, etc.
SYNCRETO-PAGANISM: similar to meso-pagan, but having had to submerge itself into the dominant culture, and adopt the external practices and symbols of the other religion -- the various Afro-diasporic traditions (Voudoun, Santeria, etc.), Culdee Christianity, what "Fam-Trads" (Family Tradition that has been passed down) might still exist, etc.
NEO-PAGANISM: attempts of modern people to reconnect with nature, using imagery and forms from other types of pagans, but adjusting them (in a synthesis) to the needs of modern people.
