I'm a practising pagan.
And by practising I mean, I state in on Hospital Forms, Census and other official paperwork. It also means I practice what I believe in.
I see the complexity and sheer wonder of the universe and my place in it, How by taking responsibility for my own actions I can make the lives of others both better and worse. I don't need someone else to force their own interpretation of the universe onto me.
And for this act of free will (which was given to us to exercise as we see fit-if you believe that story). Other people decide that I will go to Hell.

I had to look up pagan,
and it seems to me saying,'I'm a practising pagan.' doesn't really mean much at all. You need to state which pagan religion you practice.

Tree worship? Being surprised by every sunrise?
That sort of thing?

Thing is
There are as many different types of Paganism as there are Pagans. Its a umberella term, Some styles have more followers, Some fall in and out of favor. Sometimes certain 'characters' attach themselves to paths, characters who do more harm than good and are only in it for the headlines and media attention. (just like organised religions)

In answer to your question, What sytle of paganism do I practice?
Post Modern Golden Dawn is probably the easiest way to describe it.

I'm not sure you can seperate pagan religions from organised religions.
Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism are pagan religions. I'd hardly call those a loose bunch of people with similar religious beliefs,

That doesn't answer my question,
at all.
Are you a Greek fascist?

I find this amusing.
You say "I don't need someone else to force their own interpretation of the universe onto me." but then you feel you must identify with others and define your beliefs with a name. Have you ever though of just, you know, being and ditching the pointless label "pagan", the only purpose of which is to suggest that either somebody, somewhere, does impose some view of the universe upon you such that you feel the need to make that clear to everybody or you're so jealous of the God club you need your own.
Heck, or go the whole hog ad become a Druid. At least they managed to convince some imbeciles that something made up in the 20th century was "ancient".

Not trolling.
You're just another religionist idiot. The difference is you think the fact your religion is looked down upon by the people of the book makes it any less pathetic.

No shed...
... because while you were out at the Rollright Stones someone came and set fire to it?
