Religion seems to be a place of group think, a social club, a place where people feel they belong to something, are recognized, and can participate or contribute.
When I think of Pagan I just think of Nature worship, Lunar / solar events, natural weather glorification, mother earth mumbo jumbo.
It's as relavent as sky daddy that the mormons worship or the powerful being , all knowing, never to be seen God floating around somewhere beyound time and space.
I really enjoyed David Tweades 5 minute talk reviewing how overtime "Gods" were like a moving goal post. From caves, to pyramid structures, to moving God to a Mountain, the sky/heaven, to somewhere in the Universe.
Now that we have hubble telecope, astrophysicists, high tech optics, advanced mathmatics and CPUs to crunch numbers we can measure our solar system / galaxy and observe the vastness of space. Just go to Neflix and watch Space: Unraveling the Cosmos and God has yet to be found.

Sure, life has a high possibility of living but is it created by GOD? Nobody knows. Now that we can observe space, the sky daddy / GOD being doesn't seem to be around....at all. I guess it's time to watch intersteller and be entertained.
Our closest star with planets is 25 trillion miles away. We won't be any closer to visiting that star that trying to reach the center of our own galaxy to see visit a blackhole.
Conclusion: God hasn't been found. The kindness that humans can give to one another is about as God like as you are going to get for extending, love, mercy and understanding to the unfortunate. That's my opinion.
