Monotheist religions have a tendency to push the "we're right & everyone else is wrong" message; polytheistic & pantheistic religions don't have that as part of their core message. (Which doesn't mean individuals won't push that; some people will grab *any* excuse to say "my lifestyle is correct & good; anyone who's different is doing it wrong.")
The Christian privilege list is skewed toward the US and other English-dominant countries. (Someday, I will write long detailed essay about Christian bias in English linguistics. Someday.) I can understand if the focus is too limited to include it.
I'd be disappointed--I'm very used to religion being left out of discussions of privilege, and used to my own religious convictions being dismissed as "that can't possibly be religious"--but there is no horde of irate Pagans, or horde of oppressed & discriminated-against Pagans, who need scans_daily to recognize them.
(That probably sounds more snarky or bitter than I'd like. Issues, I has dem. *I* will be annoyed if a list of anti-oppression resources doesn't acknowledge the existence of religion, especially considering how much Christianity and other official state religions are used to reinforce other privileges, but that's the end of it. And I really don't expect a large community to cater to my annoyances.)
