In my opinion,
finally, I think I found the only difference Christianity and Paganism have.
In my opinion, Christianity says ''God and creation are separate''.
And in my opinion, Paganism says ''God and creation are different''.
That's it.

According to the website, above, Christianity is the largest religion in the world. However,
Christianity and Islam are spin-offs of the Jewish religion, so, essentially, the Jewish religion encompasses both of them and is, by far, the largest religion in the world.

"an unconverted member of a people or nation who
does not practice Christianity, Judaism, or Islam especially
: a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2

Paganism - Wikipedia
According to the Wikipedia website, above, the name Pagan was "first used in the fourth century by
early Christians for people in the
Roman Empire who practiced
polytheism[1] or
ethnic religions other than
Judaism. In the time of the Roman empire, individuals fell into the pagan class either because they were increasingly rural and provincial relative to the Christian population, or because they were not
milites Christi (soldiers of Christ).
[2][3] Alternative terms in Christian texts were
hellene,
gentile, and
heathen.
[1] Ritual sacrifice was an integral part of ancient
Graeco-Roman religion[4] and was regarded as an indication of whether a person was pagan or Christian.
[4] Paganism has broadly connoted the "religion of the peasantry"."
My opinion:
I think that the name "Pagan" is an insult. It demeans other religions and casts them as unimportant or wrong. If the religious can't get along with each other, what chance do others have?
