For some reason this reminds me of the 1987 reboot of Dragnet, starring Dan Ackroyd, in which a satanic crime ring called PAGAN ("People Against Goodness And Normalcy") were planning on sacrificing a virgin. IIRC it was secretly run by the local archibishop.

But honestly, at this point, we've had 30 years of largely positive press for neopagans; I don't see how the word could be considered pejorative.
