Has the larger "Pagan" community that identifies with this once derrogatory term succeeded in taking the public perception of the "country dwellers" and the Old Religion? Or is the term still objectionable when referring to the people and their Gods?
@howie1945 I don't have a problem with that term. What Pagans do is so vastly different from what the Ancients do that it's fitting.

I have never, ever met a Pagan individual who did not like the term "Pagan". Maybe the occasional person who likes neo-Paganism better, to distinguish the old religions from our new variations and reconstruction movements. Words take on new meaning over time, they evolve. I use Pagan.

@BlueFireWitch
then what is the meaning of the word pagan these days?

@jin54363 He told me that he hated me or rather despised me for using the term. He posed no logical argument.

@jin54363 This video is from the person for which this video is directed, it doesn't change the facts. The facts state that many terms, this one included, started out as pejoratives and no longer are.
