Somebody please explain it. I have very little ideas of what a pagan or even paganism is.

I think it's someone who isn't part of one of the main religions, but I'm not completely sure.

According to Sister Mel at Our Lady of Sacred Heart, anyone that doesn't believe in God. Not a god, the God. Yeah, I had to pay attention to her so I wouldn't look or think about all the clowns all over the room.

Based on Google's results... pagan - a follower of a nature-based religion. It is important to remember that all wiccans are pagan, but not all pagans are wiccan. There is a very wide variety of pagan religions, wicca is just one of them. |

That's Paganism though, Pagans can refer to those outside of Paganism because what we call Paganism didn't appear until the 17th century. Something close to today's "Pagan" was used as early as the 5th century basically for those who didn't accept a monotheistic religion.
According to wikipedia
One who follows a religion of European, North African, West Asian or Pre-Columbian American origin and who is not Christian, Muslim nor Jewish, or who does not worship the God of Abraham. Such usage, while traditional in the above three religions, may be considered derogatory. (Religions of Southern and Eastern Asian origin (eg. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shinto) are not generally considered to be Pagan).
