All these words contain the '-ism' ending, but be careful: only organism, mechanism, satanism, and humanism share paganism's final /-ənɪzəm/ sound (though the stressed vowel differs, so they are not rhymes). Criticism and tourism look similar because of '-ism' but actually end in /-sɪzəm/ and /-rɪzəm/.
