If you know nothing about a person except for that they're a Pagan, do you make any assumptions?

About this person's intelligence, education, socio-economic status, family life, personality, etc? Or do you reserve judgment until you actually get to know the person?(I realize that Pagan is a very over-arching term and it contains people of vastly different belief systems and philosophies, I just didn't want to leave my Pagan friends out!)

Nope . As a pagan, I know it's not safe to make assumptions about other pagans. Because you'll most likely be wrong.I approach it as I would with any other person - learn more about them as I get to know them.Add: Oh you're so right Astra I am lying. I do make the assumption that they're human. But then I think that's a fair assumption .

Only that they are likely to be a pseud who thinks rabbiting on about various woo-woo claptrap is any less silly than imagining a bearded asskicker in the sky who cares what we do with our genitals more than just about anything else.Christians at least have the excuse of societal norms and early indoctrination. "Pagans" just make it up as they go along in the mistaken belief that it makes them cool, unique and exciting.

I think that they are open-minded, hilarious and orgies-loving people

They are probably broke. Other than that, nothing.

I would assume they aren't religious Jews, Christians Muslims, or religious members of any other group, though they might have a vague connection or identification with the other groups.Zvi

That would be like stereotyping them because of their nationality, ethnicity or orientation.The only safe assumption would be that they're not Christian.
