Paganism is a term that derives from Latin word pagan, which means "nonparticipant, one excluded from a more distinguished, professional group." The term was used in the 4th century, by early Christian community, in reference to populations of the Roman world who worshipped many deities. The term competed with "polytheism" already in use in Judaism, by Philo in the 1st century. Pagans and paganism was a pejorative for the same polytheistic group, implying "inferiority." Paganism has broadly connoted "religion of the peasantry," and for much of its history a derogatory term. Alternate terms in Christian texts for the same group was "hellene" and "gentile." In and after the Middle Ages, paganism was a pejorative that was applied to any non-Abrahamic or unfamiliar religion, and the term presumed a belief in false god(s).
