" Earth Religions include include Pagan religions (Wicca, Druidism, Shamanism, etc.), traditional religions of indigenous peoples, those variations on indigenous religions (******, Ifa, Santeria, eclectic Native American-inspired medicine societies, etc.) and on variations of widespread religions (Christian, Moslem, Sufi, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, Shinto, Unitarian Universalist, etc.) that honor Nature and the Earth and our place in it, along with similar mystic beliefs and practices."

It may stem from them calling the Druids back home pagans. As the druids didn't follow or believe as they did.

Italian word: paganini
Translates to "out of town" or anything that that did not conform to the main stream of thinking in Roman times of Constantine.
Most of the "pagans" I know are actually closer to christians in their discipline than the christians I know.
There are those, that claim paganism, that are really just confused hedonists, but they don't understand the difference.
We seem to live in a time of ironies and misnomers and I find that whatever people call themself is exactly what they aren't.
(Anonymous and SMART included)
Having been to 12 step "pagan" meetings, I have found them to be no different than the other specialized 12 step meetings.
Except that perhaps there was more of a focus on spirituality.
