Any science he or others like him they disagree with is a pseudoscience. 

I am not exactly sure why the term pagan comes up over and over. A pagan is 
really somebody from a nation that is not subject to monotheist religion. 
Below is a definition of pagan from the Merriam-Webster dictionary. The 
least anachronistic definition is #2 below. In the United States the number 
of people who believe in God is 80%, which is down from 90% just a decade 
ago. I do not see the world be overwhelmed by pagans.
