Pagan religion

   IF "Paganism" is a religion, then "Monotheism" is also A religion (and 
must always be Capitalized.) Similarly with "Henotheism" and "Animism".

   Or are we to be told that polytheists who don't follow the twentieth 
century Garnerian "revival" paradigm are not "real Pagans", in the same 
way that we are constantly told by bigots that Group X are not "real" 
Christians or "real" Jews?

    Are atheists who demand that we write "Atheist" "admitting" that 
"Atheism" is a religion? Or are they claiming that there is some superset 
of "religions", all of which are "entitled" to be treated on a linguistic 
par?

   I see that nobody has still bothered to respond to the constitutional 
questions I originally raised, preferring to play dominance games.
