Christianity stole a lot of Pagan beliefs when it was first gaining popularity in order to better recruit new followers from Pagan religions. And also many Pagans who converted brought to Christianity their Pagan beliefs which helped shaped Christianity to be Pagan-like. There's lots of overlap. Many of the core "stories" of Christianity are coopted from much older Pagan stories. Protestants often notice these similarities and accuse Catholicism of being Pagan but Protestantism is founded on the same Pagan beliefs as Catholicism even if Protestants try to get rid of the Pagan styling that Catholicism keeps in the religion.
Christianity without its Pagan roots is actually a pretty terrible and slavish religion, imo.
