Santeria has Catholic influences but are so far removed they are not considered to be Christian. Wicca could technically be considered a Pagan religion; however due to the prominence of Wicca, it is often classified as its own belief system.

Pagans have no central leader, spiritual texts, or official houses of worship, and beliefs may vary from person to person. No one Pagan can correctly claim to speak for or represent all Pagans due to the wide variety of beliefs. The majority of Pagans are polytheistic in nature, often worshiping a dual god and goddess. Core belief concepts can be shared among Pagans, but different interpretations abound; for Pagans, the importance is on living a good life and not on the end of life.
