Apparently it has a lot to do with pagans, like Slavic rodnovers, than Christians, who were, as they say "enablers of paganism and idolatry".
How am I supposed to think about it, as someone who would like to worship Perun, Weles, Mokosh at some point?

Please debunk some anti-Pagan claims here.

EDIT:, OK, you don't have to debunk, if you don't want to, but I feel like my pagan heritage is a bit insulted.

Why should you care about what other people think?

I'll take the bait.

As @Robert Ramsay said, you shouldn't need to think about what other people think of your practice. As long as you're not breaking any laws. If you just want to worship some gods, go ahead. Do you need anybody's permission?

As for the baitey-part of your post, Judaism doesn't hate Christmas.

In the case this isn't bait, and you genuinely wonder how is Christmas perceived from a Jewish perspective, I believe there is nothing better than jwhia's answer: a fictional letter to a school department about inclusivity of different holidays where Christianity and Judaism are swapped. I have a Christian background, and I find this hilarious:

I think people don't like xmas because it's a mixture of blind consumerism, really shitty music and aesthetics, and forced cheer- all on the bedrock of an oppressive slave religion.

I wonder how is paganism perceived by all abrahamic religions who plan to marginalize pagans. Includes Islam, Christianity and Judaism

This just sounds like you've made up a guy in your head to get mad at. Marginalise? Ban them from carol singing or what? I haven't noticed any pagan pogroms recently.

Google Noahide laws.
The religions that believe in monotheism will have the best life, according to them.
If not Noahide, then Shariah laws and also Project 2025.

I guess you believe the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as well?

OK, I guess I know what you are now, for sure. Goodbye.

Tis' true many Christians are extremely judgmental, which has a disgusting amount of irony, especially when some Christians think things that are pretty benign like Yoga, Meditation, and Carl Jung are evil.
It doesn't help the case that people who barley dip their toes into the esoteric and occult world then go back screaming to the church how they didn't know that witchcraft is so evil and terrible. My only question is which craft? Because Meditation can show "The Kingdom within" As Jesus talked about, Yoga is great for stretching and developing a healthy routine, and Carl Jung's method of Shadow Work can be pivotal to help heal trauma.. I mean i wouldn't go advertising his 7 Sermons of the Dead as having any serious psychological methods, nor is it a part of his practice.
It's just as bad when you get a Christian conspiracy theorist then you gotta deal with absolutely everything being "Demonic" Even the number 33 bause of Masons. or the As Above So Below symbol when Christ was basically the human form of that concept as a bridge from the physical and divine.

But I Digress.. Yeah in some parts of the USA the Shariah Law/Muslim population is getting out of control I was born in Michigan and to hear what's becoming of Deerborn is so sad. I Don't want whats happening in the UK to happen here. You get more jail time over there for being racist against them than they get for SA'ing underage girls. There M.O. is They come in peace, They are disadvantaged refugee's they infiltrate the gov't, They then let their colors show of being a wolf in sheep's clothing in whatever area or district they conquer. There has been a sickening amount of fraud when it comes to money sent to help Somali's, and tax payers are taxed out the a--.
I don't really pay much attention to jews although I find it absolutely disgusting how much power they have yet they act like the victims. They were given a country they cannot defend, I read something a rabbi wrote that said "I guess Isreal is the only country that's not allowed to win wars" and it's like mf... America saved the jews in Germany, and we send the country an ungodly amount of money. perhaps its something they are doing that causes the issues and mismanagement of funds.
The whole war on Christmas thing I think is Really ridiculous.
1) it's not even a Christian thing, it was a pagan thing that many of the things we got from Shamans. (Decorating of the tree used to be done with Amanita Mushrooms to dry them, Shamanic reindeer herders would actually feed the reindeer the Amanita mushroom as their liver breaks down the toxins without needing to dry them and it makes it a lot more potent. (although making tea with dried caps, with lemon water and then putting in a powdered pro-biotic leaving it overnight 8-12 hours makes it extremely strong as well, and it's good for about 5 days in the fridge, (vompletley legal btw) it's super amazing to help sleep. but that's all Christmas stuff.. the red and white coloring, the decorating the Christmas tree, the Christmas "Spirit".
2) Jews have Dreidels and Hannukah.
They'll be ok.

I believe abrahamic religions don't want pagans to be around and are constantly character assasinating pagans.
Even most educated people aren't aware that modern pagans exist. For them pagans belong to history books, not the present. Religions have been making disparaging remarks about other religions since the beginning of time, do you really expect that they'll honour and respect yours?
