It is because it is not uncommon among religious people to attack people with different religious beliefs. In the Roman Empire after Constantine declared that Christianity would be the official religion of the Empire, many city dwellers were Christians already and it was easy to spread Christianity among the others in the city. But outside of the cities, in the country, people were, as they tend to be in the country, old-fashioned, and held to the forms of worship which had been traditional for many years. They held to the old religion, the country religion, the pagan religion. As time went by, this word "pagan" came to be used for any religion which was not Christianity, and often for someone else's idea of Christianity if it was different from yours. It clearly does not mean devil-worship or the love of evil.

No paganism is commonly misassociated with the devil or evil worship & that is why other religions forbid it.
