The "no really, I'm not gay" music video. Everyone's favorite.
"Pagan" is the same as saying "Jewish" as it relates to the Gospel.
BOTH are roots tied to the age of IGNORANCE and sin.
What's worth remembering is the TRUTH. In any case, Believers are called to the ministry of Reconciliation, holding all things subject to Him who fills All in All.
1Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent! 2I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
7You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we. 8For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame, 9for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters. 10For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible.” 11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
12For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. 13But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you. 14For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ; 15not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men’s labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you, 16so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another. 17But HE WHO BOASTS IS TO BOAST IN THE LORD. 18For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

I hear you anon, and I somewhat accept your assertion, as the religion is what it is on account of the eternal Gospel coming to these people.
All I wish to interject is that while Christianity may or may not have been, the Gospel has always been exactly what it is, regardless of times, epochs, traditions, and cultures.
Not going to say your wrong. Satanism is the Pagan response to Christianity, so without Christianity, Paganism would've never felt the need to turn to Satanism.
So I accept your assertion.
You mean I cited the sources of the roots of the Truth of the Gospel? Alright, you find me a NON-Jewish source related to the same.
Yeah, the same faith as Abraham. No change. Always the same.
You have fallen pray to an ancient lapse in logic. You should really lurk moar.
