You, as is beccs, are incorrect. Paganism is devil worship, and there are no elements of paganism that are NOT devil worship. You can look all you want pal, but you won't find any of paganism relating directly to God. That is why it's called Satanism, you dipshit. When we use the word paganism, we mean Satanism. And every atheist that disbelieves in God can find proof for the devil all he wants--- you see?
Aww, I lost your respect?

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
