§Grammar and usage
Usage: heathen is now considered offensive, so in neutral writing use words such as non-believer or describe the person's actual faith.
Usage में heathen को अब आपत्तिजनक माना जाता है, इसलिए तटस्थ लेखन में non-believer जैसे शब्दों का प्रयोग कीजिए या व्यक्ति के वास्तविक धर्म का उल्लेख कीजिए।
