Do you (Wiccans and Other Pagans) Believe in God?


Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: Wiccans and Pagans believe in many gods.
-Some Pagans are Monotheists, who see all things as God, and see all Gods as "aspects" of a really big god. (and some other Pagans find this insulting.)
-Some Pagans are monotheists who believe in a single god who is male or female, or beyond gender.
-Some Pagans are literally polytheists, believing in many gods.
-Most Pagans, including most Wiccans, are henotheists, who believe in all, or many, of the various gods in the Universe, but only worship one god, or a small group of gods.
-Some Pagans are Pantheists, who see the divine in all things.
-Some Pagans are combinations of the above, including duotheists (belief in two gods) and others.

"But do you believe in the Christian God, or the God of Abraham?"
Many Pagans and Wiccans see the God of Abraham, the god shared by Jews, Christians and Muslims as the god of "another people" To some Pagan monotheists, he is seen as a mere aspect of a larger god, to other Pagan monotheists, he is seen as false god altogether. To Henotheists, he is often a god that exists but is not worshipped. The Early Christians and Jews were taught that their god was the god of his people, and if you read the Bible, you don't see the gods of other peoples called false (although the God of Abraham is promoted and stronger, better, etc, than, for example, the God of the Egyptians.) In fact, even Jesus, who we are told said that he was the "only path to the Father" does not say that his/the father was the lone destination.
Many of the Modern Pagans are not the peoples of Abraham. They are descended of cultures that existed before and during the rise of the Jews and they have covenants with their gods that go back just as far.
