I have a question for all the pagans here. Once you guys get into power, what do you actually do? You cannot just dismantle the Christian church, especially more powerful Christian churches like the Catholic Church or Eastern Orthodox, as those churches hold massive political sway and also influence the lives of billions of people. And also, your religion could only really be popular in the city and urban centers, like Christianity during its earliest days in the Roman Empire. While the rural farmer will still be predominantly Christian, it would take a while for him to get paganized. And also, do you really think that the average Anglo or the Italian farmer who dedicates their lives to Christ, or some way or another, those devout white Christian farmers throughout Europe, the Americas, and Australia wouldn't just abandon their religion for another. You cannot just turn them into pagans. In fact, it took a while for Middle Eastern lands to be Islamized, and also in Iran. Despite the fact that the Muslim conquerors, when they conquered much of the Middle East, all of Iran, and all of North Africa, most of the rural population was still predominantly Christian due to the fact those regions were earlier Christianized, but for Iran, it was Zoroastrianism. You cannot just turn the rual Christian population pagan.
Also another thing, the actual pagans did believe in the genuine unseen supernatural world. Like the Christians. They didn't believe they were Jungian archetypes, or they weren't Nietzschean adopting an aesthetic. It's very rare for actual neo-pagans these days to adopt an actual supernatural or otherworldly worldview, and if you guys try get into power and try to persecute Christians, you'll only end up making new martyrs, neo-martyrs in Orthodox terms, which will cause sympathy among those who want to convert and also cause pre-existing Christians to harden their beliefs.
