A pagan does not believe in no deity or "higher being" as an atheist does; they believe in the deity of all things or the deity of nature. I once knew a wiccan woman who talked about how we are all gods or goddesses and she worshipped the earth. An atheist believes humans are the highest being but not in quite the same way, as I understand it.
And wicca is a religion. Many people consider it a wrong or evil or silly religion, but it is a religion.

It is interesting to note the fusion of paganism and christianity during the early years of roman catholicism. They did a pretty good job of adapting christianity to suit the belief systems already in place in northern europe. Of course, you do the same thing in the carribean and you get voodoo!
You've got to get into AmishDudeism, man. I mean, the precident of worshipping a jolly fat man with a sense of humor has already been set.
