Most modern pagans and neopagans would differ with you on this one very seriously. There's a difference between smiley faces going out of style and having a religion that operates on the principle of "convert or else" showing up in the neighborhood. I know Hellenic Reconstructionist pagans, Celtic Reconstructionists, Druids, and Kemetic practitioners who explore the old ways of the Egyptians.
