Heathen
-
Heathen means country-dweller (lives on the heath). Its the English equivalent of the Latin-based word pagan, and refers to anyone who practices the original tribal religions of Europe, which were prevalent before middle-eastern faiths like Christianity and Islam made their way out of the desert. NOT to be confused with a Wiccan.

Barbaric, uncivilized. See [Hipster]

One who is an abomination in the eyes of God, or does not recognize [Judaism], [Christianity], or [Durka Durka] I mean [Islam].
Though there is an inherent religious connotation, it is not necessarily redundant to refer to someone as a [Godless] heathen

1)people who have never been devoted to religion
2)people who would be a threat to civilization because they have no money or books (in the olden times before the Bible)
3)people who have never had culture, this def. is just a little joking
4)people who like to act rowdy and make lots of noise, especially when its a set of guys at parties, or a clique of aggressive girls who look like they like to cause a little trouble (and usually show the club a good time in the process)
5)people who look like theyve never been to school or something but they dress like theyre in the club right out of the trendy mall, basically a certain kind of hip hop crew that likes to dance or college athletes/frat guys that go out to drink and party with their regular posse and are kind of known around and kind of like to look aggressive, drink alot and most likely seek premarital sex (duh) or at least get some digits, they tend to look a little flashy or dress to impress but always as a specific set of regulars at their partying (not much older than 30) -
Real meaning: Someone who doesnt believe there is a God (an atheist)
Modern meaning: An insulting label used by strict religious people sometimes just to atheist/agnostics, but also to anyone who doesnt follow his/her religion.
Note: Calling someone a heathen, depending on the person, could be seen as very disrespectful. -
[Someone] who does not [believe] in [the flying spaghetti monster] .

Heathan is a name given to those who act like louts in public or when when they think no one is watching them.
For example a person may be a called a [heathen] if they pour the remainder of their dinner [down the drain] which then blocks the downstairs flat drain system.
If someone goes out on a night out and eats left over food that someone has left outside a [fast food restaurant], they are a heathen
