paganism 

A vaguely defined term from the Latin word Poganus meaning countryman that has become an umbrella term for a group of reconstructed pre-Christian beliefs systems which are often nature centred. Followers of these belief systems share a wide variety of beliefs as these beliefs systems tend not to be formally structured and very focused on individual spirituality. Their beliefs can be polytheistic, animistic, pantheistic, monotheistic, bitheistic, nontheistic or a mixture of the former. Alternatively and less confusingly the term Neopagan can be used as the term has also been used for centuries as a derogotory term for any non-Abramic belief system.

Religions that have come to be considered (neo)pagan include; Wicca, Shamanism, Astatru(thought Asatruars seem to prefer the term Heathen) and, Druidism.

paganism 

A nature-based religion.

Can be seen as having one deity or many, but never any kind of "devil" as this is a purely Christian concept invented much later.

"Is Wicca a form of Paganism?"
"I guess it is, in the same way that Catholisism is a form of Christianity."

Wicca is a polytheistic religion, because Wiccans honor not only a god and a goddess, but all of nature as well.

Paganism went to Oaks Day with his pals. When his best mate picked up, Paganism followed them home, and watched them on the job from the bushes outside the window.
