How to use pagan in a sentence?

1. Lenny Bruce:

   Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That's what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is -- One Who Killed Our Lord. And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.

2. Albert Camus:

   Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.

3. George Gordon Byron:

   There is something Pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

4. Frazer Harrison/Getty Images -RRB- Arroyo:

   Now, while I completely reject this pagan tradition, as the year comes to an end, I will avail myself of the airing of grievances because I've got a lot of problems too.

5. Colin Campbell:

   Indeed, the Founders mentioned the pagan authors in so many heartfelt speeches, pamphlets and letters that today's sweeping references to America's 'Christian' roots and 'Judeo-Christian heritage' ought to be amended. Maybe these terms should be reserved to explain the traditional religions and morality of individuals, families, congregations, small communitities. Politically, our notions of virtue and vice have had another genesis.
