Blurb:

Paganism can be classified as a nature religion. The term became popular among Pagans in the 1970s, partly influenced by the rise of environmentalism in Western societies. It allowed for conceptual connections with other non-Abrahamic, typically polytheistic religions globally. The term has also been used in academic contexts, as scholars like Catherine Albanese have noted.
