What is the religious significance of the Sundance?

The word sundance is not written in all of the English KJV biblical text, Therefore it has no significance related to Hebrew/Christian doctrine.You might find some significance of Sundance, related to those who worship a sun god, as people did in Egypt and other parts of the world. If memory serves me correct they called that god Molech. There are biblical texts written concerning Molech and the practice of heathen worship of that god. Molech was the chief deity of the Ammonites. However among these verses there is no mention of Sundance, it is simply believed that the worship of Molech was as a god of the sun.Leviticus 18:21and 20:2-51 Kings 11:72 Kings 23:10Jeremiah 32:35

The opposite of Paganism is true Christianity. Since Paganism is the worship or appreciation of nature, Christianity worships the Creator not the creation. Paganism has it's roots in the Mother Child cult, Baal, Molech, and the other deities of the ancient world. Paganism has multiple deities as opposed to the One God of the Judeo/Christian belief. See also Mithraism, cult of Artemis Cybele, Dionysus's, Iraneus, etc.
