We need new words for "pagan," "heathen" and even "witch."

Yes, I know it is unlikely to happen, but still. It irks me.   In this modern world of supposed inclusivity and diversity, it is strange that we still use outdated and insulting words and thought concepts to refer to certain religious practices. Now, you might be thinking, "Nothing wrong with "pagan" and "heathen - they've been around forever!"   Firstly, there are the origins of the term "pagan." It stems from the Latin word "paganus," meaning a rustic or a country-dweller.
