List of pagans
|
|
A number of noted individuals have been called Pagans.
The term is sometimes used pejoratively, particularly by Christians, and the people below would not necessarily call themselves pagans. Please refer to Pagan for the difficulties in clearly defining the term.
Note: Some usages of 'pagan' appear to apply to atheists too. This page is not for atheists: see list of atheists.
