I understand why you think that way, but I disagree. We must resurrect the "good" from that which has been "crucified."
Much genocide and evil has been committed in the name of religious and/or ethnic "groups" including Christianity (the Inquisition) throughout history, but that should not blind us to the good works of individuals who happen to be directly or indirectly associated with those groups.
For example, the "golden rule" was taught by the Judean sage, Hillel, prior to Christ.
The Greeks brought us democracy and the humanities.
The original meaning of the word "pagan" is simply "country folk." It only became a purgative after the Roman Church declared "War against the Pagans" in much the same way the deep state has used the "War on Terror" to demonize freedom loving Americans in "fly over country" who just want to be left alone.
There were many prominent examples of virtuous pagans, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Trajan, and Virgil.
It is such "group" think that keeps us divided and
fighting each other while the evil elite continue to exploit us with such tricks.
