I'll give you an example. Orthodox Christians refuse to pray with other people who are not Orthodox. They think all Gods of other religions are fakes, and if they pray with an outsider, they will go to hell. They think that people who have a different religion are tricked into joining that religion. They think that only Orthodox Christianity is the sole correct religion.I don't think the situation is quite so straightforward, even for Orthodox Christians. What does it mean to be "against" some particular religion? What does that look like, considering the nature of a religion encompasses a wide variety of ideas and practices? It becomes quite the spectrum and probably straight up impossible for any religion to disagree with absolutely everything in any other religious tradition. So it's important to be specific about what someone is "against" within a religion. And does "against" simply mean "disagrees with, but let bygones be bygones" or does it mean "disagrees with and wants to eliminate from planet earth" sort of thing?
Back in the roman times, christians refused the roman gods and the romans killed them, that is why there are so many christian martyrs.Interesting the belief in imaginary entices.
And everything dies !
They all become imaginary also !

The Trinitarian Orthodox. The Orthodox who had the schism with Catholics.To clarify, by "Orthodox Christians" do you mean "Orthodox" as in Eastern Orthodox? Or "Orthodox" as in any mainstream Trinitarian Christian (Catholic/Orthodox/Protestant)?
I think the candle and wish on a birthday cake is actually of pagan origin! Yesterday I was reading an article about the praying thing.Orthodox Christians have prayed with Pagans without even knowing it considering our prayers often don't match up with what they think of as prayer.

Judaism is against pagan religions. But we often include Christianity on that list.My question is: are the other Abrahamic religions against nonabrahamic religions?
Nope. The roman emperor (whenever was christian, like Constantine and Theodosius) didn't kill them.That is not quite true. Rome was very tolerant of religion, and would willingly include the abrahamic god.
As you said, Christianity refused that tolerance and denied the Roman gods by insisting their god was the only god.
Considering Rome, at that time, considered the Emperor to be a deity then Christian denied the Emperor.
A capital crime.

I believe he is referring to Orthodox Christianity, as that's his local form.There are different claims of what is Orthodox not only in Christianity, but other religions, and it is often the case that different orthodox believers will not pray, associate, and wage war between the orthodox beliefs.

Christianity is a young religion. It's supposed rise a new world.Paganism predates Christianity, along with the Dharmic traditions. So you have some catching up to do.

That is true.There were many emperors between the beginning of christianity and Constantine. all of whom were considered deities. All of whom christians rejected
