الوثنية (إنگليزية: Paganism؛ من اللاتينية الكلاسيكية pāgānus "الريفيون" أو "المحليون"، لاحقاً "المدنيون")، هو مصطلح استخدم لأول مرة في القرن الرابع من قبل المسيحيون الأوائل لوصف الأشخاص في الرومان الذين كانوا يعبدون الآلهة المتعددة[1] أو الديانات العرقية وليس اليهودية. في عصر الإمبراطورية الرومانية، كان الأفراد ضمن طبقة الوثنيين إما لأنهم كانوا ريفيين ومحليين بشكل متزايد بالنسبة إلى السكان المسيحيين، أو لأنهم لم يكونوا "ميليتس كريستي" (جنود المسيح).[2][3] كانت المصطلحات البديلة في النصوص المسيحية هي "الهلنيين" و"غير المؤمنين" و"الوثنيين".[1] Ritual sacrifice was an integral part of ancient Graeco-Roman religion[4] and was regarded as an indication of whether a person was pagan or Christian.[4] Paganism has broadly connoted the "religion of the peasantry".[1][5]

During and after the Middle Ages, the term paganism was applied to any non-Christian religion, and the term presumed a belief in false god(s).[6][7]

The origin of the application of the term pagan to polytheism is debated.[8] In the 19th century, paganism was adopted as a self-descriptor by members of various artistic groups inspired by the ancient world. In the 20th century, it came to be applied as a self-descriptor by practitioners of Modern Paganism, Neopagan movements and Polytheistic reconstructionists. Modern pagan traditions often incorporate beliefs or practices, such as nature worship, that are different from those in the largest world religions.[9][10]

Contemporary knowledge of old pagan religions and beliefs comes from several sources, including anthropological field research records, the evidence of archaeological artifacts, and the historical accounts of ancient writers regarding cultures known to Classical antiquity.

Most modern pagan religions existing today (Modern or Neopaganism[11][12]) express a world view that is pantheistic, panentheistic, polytheistic or animistic, but some are monotheistic.[13]

التعريف

Defining paganism is complex and problematic. Understanding the context of its associated terminology is important.[14] Early Christians referred to the diverse array of cults around them as a single group for reasons of convenience and rhetoric.[15] While paganism generally implies polytheism, the primary distinction between classical pagans and Christians was not one of monotheism versus polytheism, as not all pagans were strictly polytheist. Throughout history, many of them believed in a supreme deity. However, most such pagans believed in a class of subordinate gods/daimons—see henotheism—or divine emanations.[13] To Christians, the most important distinction was whether or not someone worshipped the one true God. Those who did not (polytheist, monotheist, or atheist) were outsiders to the Church and thus considered pagan.[16] Similarly, classical pagans would have found it peculiar to distinguish groups by the number of deities followers venerate. They would have considered the priestly colleges (such as the College of Pontiffs or Epulones) and cult practices more meaningful distinctions.[17]

Arabic paganism gradually disappeared during prophet Muhammad's era through Islamization.[18][19] The sacred months of the Arab pagans were the 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar.[20] After Muhammad had conquered Mecca he set out to convert the pagans.[21][22][23] One of the last military campaigns that Muhammad ordered against the Arab pagans was the Demolition of Dhul Khalasa. It occurred in April and May 632 AD, in 10AH of the Islamic Calendar. Dhul Khalasa is referred to as both an idol and a temple, and it was known by some as the Ka'ba of Yemen, built and worshipped by pagan tribes.[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]
