Dance is one of the human arts that has been around in some form as long as we have. Like music and singing, it came about as a form of expression, and a way to fill free times. India was one of the earliest places dance really evolved into an art, where it was grounded in mythology and religion.

Don't confuse mythology with religion. Religion is the set of rites and practices and core beliefs. Mythology is the collected stories and folklore associated with a belief system. My religion can't become mythology, but the folklore and literature (i.e. the Bible) associated with it can. It could be argued that stories like that of Adam and Eve, or Noah and the Flood, are Judeo-Christian mythology.

1 answer
pagan religion means that you worship idols and not god and there is only 1 god
***
That is a biased opinion and not fact. The purpose is to answer the question with facts not to quote your own religion as being better than others.
The meaning of "pagan" is a term used to describe "country dweller". This was used to differentiate the "country" folk who stuck to their old gods and old religions rather than be converted to new religions such as Christianity.
It has gone through many meanings, and today is an overall term used to describe people who are not of any Judeo-Christian faith. Simply because it is not mainstream does not mean it isn't there and real for hundreds of thousands of people.
ANSWER
i agree with the above anser, that is very correct, the first answer is based purely on personal bias
a pagan religion means; any group of peopel that respect nature and life, and live according to this,
they believe in balance and harmony of al things, negative and positive, that they are all part of the same thing, life
they are very respectful of life, nature and other beings and people, and soem pagans don't believe in or worship any gods at all
idolarity is not what poaganism is about at all, in fact its alla bout the balance of life , you, all creatures, nature and any gods goddesses that exist
not worshipign or idolising them, but respecting and acknowledging them
ANSWER 2:
Both of the answers above are correct - but - paganism is not actually a religion. But rather the collective term for the religious beliefs that were celebrated and up held before christianization swept across Europe and labelled all "pagans" as heathens who did not follow the one "true" God.
Some of the religions labelled "pagan": wicca, druidism, old Nordic (i.e. Thor), Ancient Greek, Ancient Roman ect.
