    The ancient greek religion (Zeus, Poseidon, etc) is considered to be pagan.



    You're wrong again!

    Atheism is not a theory, or a belief. It is a rejection.

    Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities
    Acer, you do realize that wikipedia isn't a very reliable source right? In academics, students are discouraged from using wikipedia as a source for research projects


    From Google, define: atheism:

    a·the·ism

    /ˈāTHēˌizəm/

    The theory or belief that God does not exist.


    From merriam-webster dictionary:

    athe·ism

    noun \ˈā-thē-ˌi-zəm\

    From bbc.co.uk:

    or who believe that these concepts are not meaningful.

    From dictionary.com:

    a·the·ism

    [ey-thee-iz-uhm] Show IPA

    noun1.the doctrine or belief that there is no God.

    2.disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.



    Regarding Paganism, I agree with the definition stated there. Where does it show that I disagreed?

    I quote myself:

    "I don't think there are many pagans around anymore to celebrate the type of 'easter' before Christianity."
