The dictionary definition of pagan is closer to what Liz wrote, paganism is any religions that isn't based on Abraham with a single god (eg Christian, Jewish and Muslim). Even though many past religions may no longer be practiced, I don't think it's a good idea to lump non-Abrahamic monotheistic religions together under a single banner. Buildings/temples and other places of worship still exist from these religions, like ancient Greek and Roman temples, pyramids in Egypt and south America, Stone Henge in the UK and native scared sites in various countries from various primitive cultures. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
