Description
I can't help but notice it. In articles all over the place, the writers fail to capitalize the word "Pagan".Example:
“I would be just as angry if it had been Jewish, Hindu, pagan or Muslim,” she told the North Carolina newspaper.
I can understand not capitalizing "pagan" if you're using it in the way to describe non-Abrahamic faiths. But if you're going to specifically outline non-Abrahamic faiths (like Hindu, or Buddhist) then please for crying out loud, capitalize "Pagan"!!
Here's the template: [link]

What's the difference between Neo-Paganism and Wicca.

Doesn't work that way. The word 'pagan' is not a proper noun, it's an umbrella adjective. The only time you should capitalize it is if you're referring to a specific religion that uses the word 'pagan' in it, like 'Neo-Paganism.'

Or if it's the title of a practioner that is not an Abrahamic practioner. Such as an Eclectic Pagan or just Pagan.
