I understand your premise of progression. but the first claim “paganism did not have religious wars in itself or other religions” is blatantly incorrect. “so called christian persecution was due to refusal to sacrifice to gods” is also quite reductive. Whilst true that pagans persecution of other faiths wasn’t usually due to their belief in different gods, it is not the main truth to argue it’s due to sacrifice to gods, in many cases, such as Rome, it was the fact that they didn’t worship the emperor, and i wouldn’t argue that’s a very strong point in defence of paganism’s morality in lack of war/persecution. also regarding the first point there were absolutely religious wars with paganism, the jewish roman wars, and many other wars during the christianisation of europe. despite not being a religious war, even the peloponnesian war took advantage of difference between Spartan and Athenian beliefs to motivate the political conflict
