So here's the question, if you're Asatruar, do you call yourself a heathen or pagan? I always use heathen as I've learned that for many it indicates the difference between the witch/wiccan theology crowd and the Moljnir wearing crowd. However, in talking with those outside of those two theologies, the term ‘pagan’ just seems to be catch-all for any non-monotheistic religion found in Western civilization. What’s interesting is that I can’t ever recall anyone calling non-christian religions in place like Africa, New-Guinea, India, etc., ‘pagan’. Is this a term that would sound derogatory if they did?
