'''Paganism''' is a term that covers a great number of [[spiritual]] and [[religion|religious]] beliefs, and someone who follows one of these beliefs is known as a Pagan. Some of those in ancient times, who are called ''Pagans'' today, believed there was not just one [[deity|god]] but a number of gods and goddesses. The stories from [[Greek mythology]] are famous examples from a pagan religion. Pagans usually focus on [[spirituality]] and [[nature]], rather than on [[doctrine]]s and [[dogma]]. Not all pagans are [[polytheism|polytheists]] (belief in more than one god). Some of them are [[monotheism|monotheists]] (belief in only one god). | '''Paganism''' is a term that covers a great number of [[spiritual]] and [[religion|religious]] beliefs, and someone who follows one of these beliefs is known as a Pagan.
