Paganism

Its special characteristic may be said to lie in its wisdom, in its deep insight into the things and processes of the world. 
-- SteinerPaganism referred to non-Christian religious practice, which was within itself far more diverse than Painted by the Historical Catholics. It is not clearly divided from Christianity—never has been, never will be.
A somewhat synonymous word is Heathendom, and Heathenry. Heathen etymologically means Clear.
