I guess I tetched a nerve with those Merriam Webster definitions. I define myself as heathen because: a) I don't believe in a/the Christian god; b) I don't believe in the Bible; c) I am irreligious. In other words, I don't "believe in" what pagans/neo-pagans believe in, including Wicca, New Age stuff, etc. I do believe a whole lot more is happening in the universe than I can possibly comprehend, but I also don't spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about it. I have no problem with being sensual either.
