	Alps - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The Eastern Alps are commonly subdivided according to the different geological composition of the more central parts of the Alps and the groups at its northern and southern fringes: Northern Limestone Alps, Central Eastern Alps and Southern Limestone Alps.
		The border between the Central Eastern Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the Periadriatic Seam.
		The Alps arose as a result of the pressure exerted on sediments of the Tethys Ocean basin as its Mesozoic and early Cenozoic strata were pushed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward-moving African landmass.

	Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
		Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "a country dweller" or "civilian") is a term which, from a western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or religious beliefs and practices of natural or polytheistic religions.
		The term pagan is from Latin paganus, an adjective originally meaning "rural", "rustic" or "of the country." As a noun, paganus was used to mean "country dweller, villager." Also, the term Pagan, was to call someone a Peasant.
		Many Slavic peoples, especially Eastern Slavs, use the word "pagan" as an insult in their language; translating roughly as a "conniving brute." The etymology of this meaning lies in the fact that after their forced conversion by western Christians, much of the Slavic lands took a dim view of the remaining non-Christians in their midsts.

	Paganism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Within a European Christian context, paganism is a catch-all term which has come to connote a broad set of not necessarily compatible religious beliefs and practices (see Cult (religion)) of a natural religion (as opposed to a revealed religion of a text), which are usually, but not necessarily, characterized by polytheism and, less commonly, animism.
		Although the etymology of pagan can be tracked and its Antiquity is known, the term paganism, by contrast, appears not to have been widely used until much later, though paganismus is a term employed by Augustine.
		Like the word pagan, it came to mean a person holding onto non-Christian customs and beliefs, often used in a Pejorative sense of an unbaptized savage (as opposed to a heretic).

	Writing.Com: Brief Summary-Paganism and its Etymology
		The term pagan is from Latin paganus, an adjective originally meaning "rural";, "rustic" or "of the country." As a noun, paganus was used to mean "country dweller, villager." In colloquial use, it would mean much the same as calling someone a 'bumpkin' or a 'hillbilly'.
		As mentioned previously, pagan began as a derogatory term for the rural peoples holding to conservative beliefs and through evolved colloqialism to pre-Christian/ non-Christian beliefs specifically held in the face of the new and predominantly urban Christianized Roman society.
		While the term pagan is now firmly entrenched with the concept of pre-Christian shamanism rather than as "a rural person holding to conservative traditional beliefs and values", the rural conservative Christians of the 21st century could be argued as mirroring the same cultural traits as the pagans of the first and second millenia.

	Paganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Christianity itself has been perceived at times as a form of paganism by followers of the other Abrahamic religions[2][3]because of, for example, the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, the celebration of pagan feast days[4], and other practices [5] - through a process described as "baptising" [6]or "christianization".
		Even between Christians there have been similar charges of paganism levelled, especially by Protestants[7],[8], towards the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches for their veneration of the saints and images.
		The American Religious Identity survey 2001,[17] calculated that paganism formed the fifth largest[18] religion in the United States however if the broad definition of paganism is used, see introduction, then paganism is the second largest group behind Christianity.
