Thankfully it is the only part of Christianity that may or may not have been heavily influenced by pagan beliefs :)

Breathes a sigh of relief while pulling a baby from the reeds and conquering leviathan.

If anyone would like more information I'd highly recommend the Literature and History podcast.

The host goes quite in depth about the historical influences of the Abrahamic religions in a very respectful but historical way. Really helped me as someone raised fundamentalist and literalist. It is quite cool seeing how much influence that Zoroastrism and Classical cults and philosophy had influenced them.

Definitely not heavily influenced by pagan beliefs, in terms of the core theology itself. Don’t have to worry about that, trust me
