Namaskaar!
In which other newsgroup is the discussion taking place?
People are free to interpret definitions in their own
way but if one is to consider one of the basic definitions
of "pagan" one encounters "heathen - 1. a person who is not
a believer in any of the world's chief religions;
especially one who is neither Christian, Jew, nor Muslim.
2. an unenlightened person, one regarded as lacking culture
or moral principles."
Given the above definitions from Oxford American Dictionary,
I observe that there are pagans who claim to belong to a
certain religion and there are religious adherents who are
pagans! It all boils down to how others perceive an
individual and how the person sees himself or herself.
Thus, some Hindus are pagans, some not, and vice versa.
