Just to clarify, Paganism as it is used today refers to Neo-Paganism, which
is a collection of generally polytheistic (though not necessarily so) faiths
that tend to revere nature. Originally, it did mean what Justin said, but
when you say Pagan today, it's referring to the Neo-Paganism movement, which
began only in the last hundred years or so.

There are lots of religions under that, including Wicca, some
reconstructionist religions (they try to reconstruct ancient religions, like
ancient Greek mythology, etc), Neo-Druidism, etc. Some just label themselves
as Pagan and that's it.

Also not all Pagans are witches or practice witchcraft.
