He's using pagan as a derogatory term similar to Heretic, I think. If he were really speaking about pre-Christian European religion he would be grossly mistaken as the "creation" myths of the Indo-Europeans have no conflict with science. These ancient philosophies seem to have already had a grasp onto what science has only achieved recently.
