Religions evolve as societies evolve. Islam is overdue for a major overhaul, but Christianity is also coming up for renewal, not major like Islam, but still, some things need cleaning up. Paganism was popular before Christianity and some say that's what evolved into Christianity. Maybe so. I don't know that neo-pagans have any corner on religious truth, but their presence indicates that not all is well with the mainstream.

I don't know all that much about paganism, but I can say with assurance that it did not evolve into Christianity. Paganism and Christianity have, and alway will be, at total odds. Each is diametrically opposed to the beliefs of the other, regardless of what some might say.

An understatement...
