# pagan #
## Definition: ##
In Bible times, the term "pagan" was used to describe people who worshiped false gods instead of Yahweh.
* Anything associated with these people, such as the altars where they worshiped, the religious rituals they performed, and their beliefs, were also called "pagan."
* Pagan belief systems often included the worship of false gods and the worship of nature.
* Some pagan religions included sexually immoral rituals or the killing of human beings as part of their worship.
