Do you mean pagan as in god-of-this-god-of-that? Or a sort of animism that assigns humans no particularly special place in the order of things?

Seems to me that one definite problem with the monotheistic religions is that their god is essentially a supernatural human figure. This gives them the feeling that they can treat the "rest of" nature with contempt, as something quite apart.
