Are pagans considered atheists? Do they believe all of those gods actually exist or are they merely personifications of nature?

Why do you obviously have no idea what either a pagan or atheists are?!!!!!

PAGAN - A follower or believer in any non Christian group or religion.

Thus Hindus, Sikhs, and all the other non Christian religions are pagan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. 

Believing in ANY deity means someone's not an atheist.

Pagans are not atheists. Depending upon the pagan, they can believe in all those gods, or they believe in it is aspects of the Goddess. 

Atheist have big noses, are cheap, and smell.

I try harder.    

Pagan = a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions.

Ones that believe in a god or gods are not atheists.  Ones that do not are.

Pagans are all people who are not Christian or Jewish. Some people classify Muslims as non-pagan as well. Most pagans believe in gods other than the Christian and Jewish gods and therefore are not atheists as atheists do not believe in any gods. Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and all the other non Christian/Jewish people believe in their gods just as strongly as Christians and Jews believe in their gods.

Pagans believe in gods other than the Judeo-Christian ones. 

Atheists don't believe in any gods.

2 thumbs down for a correct answer - must be triggering Christians tonite.

I can't tell whether you're the real Hunter or one of your clones, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and give you a real answer.

There's a saying in my religion. Ask 12 pagans a question, you'll get 13 answers. Some believe in literal gods and goddesses, while others consider them metaphor. It is my considered opinion that they are egregores; artificially created constructs that behave as if they are alive.

If you believe the Lord the Bible says God will destroy man and beast for those who worship the Lord and worship Molech (Baal) bowing to the host of heaven Zephaniah 1  Why does the abomination of desolation offend God ? Im fine that a Bible verse Zephaniah 1:5
