The Celts were believers of a Nature Religion. They didn't call themselves Pagan. When the Roman Empire came to the Ireland, they called the country dwellers as Pagans. The word "Pagan" was a slang term those days to put down (degrade) someone lower or uncivilized. Later the word "Pagan" became a word to call the old religion on the country dwellers.
