A heathen is any one that does not subscribe to the Judaic version of god. If you are not a Jew, Muslim or Christian you are a heathen.

In an anthropological or scientific context, the term "savage" is controversial and usually considered obsolete. It can mean:

  • Any person, group or behavior distinct from civilization
    • Barbarian, a usually-pejorative word for an uncivilized person
  • Indigenous peoples, non-Western groups whose history predates contact with Western culture
  • Primitive culture, a culture lacking modernity
  • Hunter-gatherer, a member of a society whose food is mostly procured directly from undomesticated sources
  • Band society, a comparatively simple form of human society
  • Tribe, a type of social organization distinct from states (Source wikipedia)

A savage typically refers to someone considered uncivilized or primitive, often based on cultural or societal norms. A heathen, on the other hand, is typically used to describe someone who does not follow a monotheistic religion, especially in a derogatory or offensive context.
