Word-for-word this is how I explained it to my nephew "The cross is a christian symbol. They worship it as if it were something devine, however it is actually an ancient phallic sex symbol from south america. The christians believe that a man named Jesus, who was a great example of how to live a good life and how to love your fellow man, was murdered by being nailed to a cross.
They use the cross as a reminder of what happened to him. Though they seem to remember the hatred for the murders rather then remember the lesson that the road of intolerance leads to nowhere."

Is it pagan to worship a dead man on a cross?
Well that would really depend on who the dead man on the cross is. If it's Jesus, then it's probably not pagan(though some pagans incorporate Christianity into their religion.) I can't think of any pagan figures that would be on a cross, but there are many sacred figures who are bound, tortured and/or dead(such as Prometheus, who was bound to a stone, or Cu Cuchulain who tied himself upright to a stone when he died so he would be on his feet.)
