OK. I was wavering on that anyway.

is the [lit] gloss necessary/helpful?  my dics all say something along the lines of it being used especially within christianity, esp. to refer to another (non-monotheistic) faith.

so paganism/heathenism seems to capture it perfectly without the lit gloss.  (e.g. Buddhism is the dominant faith in Japan, but dics tell us it is more likely to be among minority Christians to refer to the majority faith)

At first I thought Nils was explaining "heathenism", but really this is the "real" meaning of 異教.
