OP Pagan properly means “belonging to a village” (Latin, pagus). The Christian Church fixed itself first in
cities, the centres of intelligence. Long after it had been established in towns, idolatrous practices
continued to be observed in rural districts and villages, so pagan and villager came to mean the same
thing. (See Heathen. )
