[quote=Anonymous][quote]It was a subtle question to the OP as to whether or not she sees Paganism as a standalone religion in its own right, with subsets (e.g. Christianity and Presbyterians, Mormons, etc.), or merely a collective heading, paganism, given as an umbrella under which to group various subsets without implying that they were connected by common theology (i.e. the pagan religions of Druidry, Heathenism, Wicca, etc.). But thanks for the lecture? I guess? [/quote]

I apologize; I didn't fully understand what you were asking.

I see the pagan religions as an umbrella, or to more fit the theme, a tree.

'Pagan' is the trunk of the tree, with each specific religion being branches coming off of it. People can adhere to numerous branches on the tree by identifying as a Pagan Druid (and perhaps having some branches from other religious trees, such as being a Pagan Druid Buddhist).

Paganism is a standalone religion as well, though, in the fact that many people are simply Pagan. [/quote]
