@osfairy I use polytheist more than I use pagan because pagan often refers directly to one's relationship to Christianity. Therefore, to avoid any confusion about whether my beliefs are just a response to Christianity, rather than genuine belief in and adoration of the gods, I use "polytheist".

No I know that's not a consistent way of using it across pagan groups but I interact with Christians a lot more than I would like, and I don't want to give them the pleasure of sincerely believing I'm just doing this because I'm angry at them.
