Christianity is different from other religions for lots of reasons. Most of them worship different gods. Christianity usually talks about Jesus coming back to life, and Catholics usually talk about Jesus' death. Buddists are very humble and caring. Most religions have different rules too. I think it is in Arabia that the rules are that you cant eat pork and you are not aloud to drink alcohol. Buddists, Catholics and Christions have to obey they parents at all times and follow the word of God. Christianity is different because you worship God and other religions you don't really believe in God, you believe in statues or that he did not die for us yet. Most world religions teach men how to find God and earn His favor through good works. Christianity is different because it teaches that men are unable to do this since we inherited a corrupt nature from Adam. Instead, God Himself seeks and saves His people through His Son, Jesus. Jesus lived a perfectly righteous life and that is credited to those who believe in Him. He also paid the penalty of death on behalf of His people. In this way, He saved those who could not save themselves.

Pagans don't believe in Jesus Christ.

polytheistic, nature centered, completely different afterlife, i can go on 4 ever, they are essentially having no similarities . the list of similarities is much shorter, both believe in spirituality, cosmic forces, afterlife/salvation, & prophets. (basicly they are both religions & faith)

There is many differences between Christianity and Paganism. One is that Paganism was the first religion of the world. Pagans have 8 holidays and many of the Christian holidays we know (and love) today, were based upon Pagan traditions. Eostre=Easter Yule=Christmas Samhain=Halloween (more to come later)

Christian belief is centered around The Bible as the true word of God. The Bible makes many promises and predictions in the Old Testament, concerning the coming of the Messiah, which Christians believe were fulfilled in the coming, execution, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christianity is monotheistic, (believing in one true God.)

Paganism on the other hand, from a biblical Christian standpoint, is a blanket term for every spiritual belief system besides Judaism and Christianity. Most often these are polytheistic in nature, (belief in many Gods/Goddesses.)

Paganism today may also be used as a term to describe any of the many individual or group based Neopagan practices that incorporate beliefs rooted in polytheism, pantheism, shamanism and/or animism.

From either view of paganism, we are left with too broad a spectrum of beliefs to give any adequate summary of shared beliefs, yet this in and of itself should point to one of the most significant differences. Pagan gods are many and varied, the biblical God is singular and unchanging.

What are the difference between Pagan beliefs and Christian beliefs?

The problem with answering this question is that it is very, very broad. There are numerous pagan beliefs. Having said that there are some clearly evident differences. 1: Christian beliefs are 'God' centred and technically monotheistic whilst pagan beliefs are Earth centred and often polytheistic in nature. 2: Christian beliefs revolves around the person of Christ who is seen as saviour of the world, there is no such individual in pagan beliefs and no concept of salvation as humans are not seen as sinful and so do not need 'saving.' 3: Much if what Christians believe (although not all by any means) is to be found in the pages of the Bible. Pagans have no such commonly-accepted central repository, differing pagan groups having different texts and some having no texts at all. 4: Christianity is a ritual religion, that is there are at least 2 and as many as 8 agreed rites, Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist or Lord's supper, Marriage, Ordination, Confession, Funeral rites with blessing sometimes mentioned as the eighth. Paganism is also ritual based but the rituals are quite different. 5: Christianity looks forward to a time when God will put all that is wrong in the universe right although differing Christian sects identify HOW God will do this in differing ways. Pagans see no need for this considering the universe to be just fine as it is.
