Is there a difference between Paganism and Neopaganism
Short Answer:Often. Long Answer:
In general, people use the terms interchangably. Many people use the term "Neo-Pagan" to distinguish between
Ancient Indigenous Religions, which they call "Pagan" and Modern religions,
which they call "Neo-Pagan."
For most of these ancient religions, Pagan is a perjorative, so it is best
to call self-identified Pagans Pagans, and others by the proper term for
their religion, or at least the generic term (like "indigenous religion of
Ancient Sparta").
