Paganism tends to be polytheistic, spiritualist, naturalist folk religions. Calling anything non-Abrahamic Paganism seems to be a Christian knee-jerk reaction to people not pledging obeisance to Christ and trying to find some way to sully them. As for the Egypt thing, I know, Eclipsing the Son said that communities that regarded their ruler as their God were Pagan, which they weren't. If they were a part of a series of gods, they could be Pagan.

Pascal's Wager is absolute horseshit, what kind of omnipotent, omniscient god doesn't know that you're putting it on?
