          No, Muslims spawn from the same filth as Christians and Jews. And yes, Buddhists and Atheists are pagans.

            I know zero pagans, Buddhists or atheists who would use that definition.

            I don’t even know if anyone uses other than in a historical context when talking about the Roman Empire.

        The problem is that paganism isn’t a religion; it’s a term used to describe individuals who don’t follow a specific religious belief system. When someone requests to be treated like a religion, but that fundamental understanding is overlooked, it diminishes the seriousness of their beliefs.
