You were, of course, lied to about what polytheism actually was

Of course, no one claiming to be a pagan nowadays knows what it was either.

The strongest hint you'll ever get: Within a generation of Christian monks showing up in a pagan community, the entire community would become Christian. The spread of Christianity in Europe happened very fast and within a few hundred years practically everyone was converted. The hold-outs were holding out simply because they were remote. It took some more time but it wasn't long until they were all converted.

The so-called crusades were almost exclusively retaliatory. I really can't think of any offensive Christian military action up through the Middle Ages that wasn't a response to an aggressive act.
