My friends, the word you're looking for is "eclectic" _____. Fill in what you like after it, i.e. eclectic philosopher, eclectic spiritualist, etc. or just say "I am eclectic in my beliefs". Not only does it describe you all better (most likely, I guess I don't know enough to say for sure) but it fits with your idea that one should not have to defend one's beliefs (since pagan carries a specific connotation to some that might get drilled with questions from a stranger and evoke a defensive response.)
Just a suggestion of course, but for me I've found over the years that it's easier to deal with people, and more accurate anyways to use the word eclectic. It probably also keeps me a little more opened minded by not lableing myself to one particular faith or philosophy.
