I will have to disagree with your definition. Pagans generally do believe in a 'Supreme Being'. What they do not believe in is the Christian definitions of 'God', of the 'Devil', or of how humans relate to the Supreme Being. Christian beliefs generally define God in terms that are inherently male, judgemental, paternalistic, etc. The Devil is seen as an evil entity with the power to pull humans from God's grace. If a human fails to fit into a narrow definition of righteous behavior, Christian beliefs would have him/her consigned to eternal damnation. Pagans on the other hand take a more 'liberal' approach to these areas. The Supreme Being can be refered to in female, male or non-distinctive language. The Supreme Being is seen in all aspects of life and nature, not in the narrow definitions handed down by the Christian hierachy. Some pagans use statues, but so do some Christian denominations. Some pagans use talismen, but many Christians look to the cross or other religious symbols for help in their faith. Some pagans use elaborate rituals, but the Christian worship services usually involve similar practices. Most pagans don't accept the existence of the 'Devil' as an entity that can pull humans from the Supreme Being's love. If someone does not accept a belief in a Supreme Being, this makes them an atheist, not a Pagan.
