No, just that Hypatia wasn't. There's a very good biography of her,
"Hypatia of Alexandria" by Maria Dzielska (Harvard U Press, 1995) based in
part on letters written by prominent students of hers, including a couple of
Christian bishops.
I, personally, think that Paganism includes deism - one can't be a Pagan
without believing in a deity or several.
Best,
