. . . some monotheistic religions systematically dismantled paganism within every facet of existence they found.

I have learned from pagen writings and pagen friends that most of Christianity is plagerised from pagen teachings.
gathering at a church was not a Christian thing in the begining.

Hello, demonologist. I'm totally responding to your headline and post text, and not the video (yet), so you can discern me. The first thing that came to mind is how the Synagogue of Satan has weaponized their daddy's lies into fiction as tradition and potential mass (HA!) behavior. I also thought of the Old Testament Book of Job, and how that man had nothing but his mortal body and love for God to live with, as opposed to me. I have a hoard of Bibles, books and (tcho-)tchotchkes that some use frequently like fidget toys. Then there's the whole "by whose perspective" thing about definitions; pagan as peasant, heathen as norsemen? Then there's the Greek Orthodoxy, and the Old Testament instructions for rituals and particular things one can make in order to improve order, like tech generally does. You know, If only Christians in general would read the Bible by the Holy Spirit, not their individual interpretation. That's just from your post headline.
Your post text points out the strange in-fighting that keeps happening amongst Christians of all kinds. Sad, but everyone on Earth is supposed to talk to each other about life beyond the mundane. It happens. Anyway, thank you for posting this video, brother's keeper. You actually care.
"Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."
"Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us," (Mark 9:38-40 NIV).

I think in the saints you can see traces of ancestor/hero worship which was very important to the pagans.
But I don't see why that should be a 'bad thing'. To me that's exactly what religion should be. History of our spiritual development, our connections to the places and ancestors that still carry us through.
Hope you don't mind I went a little poetic at the end.

The sin within the Catholicism lies not in the church but in the people.
So, you are labelling and stereotyping 1.3 Billion people.
Based on what?
Catholicism is such a scumy immoral perversion.
Care to expand a bit on any of this?
