pagan beliefs
Pre-Christian spiritual traditions
Pagan beliefs are religious or spiritual views outside the major world religions—particularly non-Christian, pre-Christian, or nature-based traditions.
The phrase often appears in historical contexts describing ancient polytheistic religions: The missionaries sought to replace pagan beliefs with Christianity.
In modern usage, it may refer to contemporary movements like Wicca or neo-paganism that revive or adapt older traditions.
