Neo-paganism, also known as modern paganism, are a number of religious traditions which seek to emulate the polytheistic practices of various cultures prior to the introduction of Christianity and other Abrahamic religions such as Islam.

Neo-paganism, in particular strains such as heathenry, are often wrongly associated with fascism and right-wing politics generally. However, these reactionaries are merely co-opting these religious traditions to suit their agenda. Nothing in neo-pagan worship is inherently right-wing.
