Eh- in the sense that there are hundreds (exaggeration: perhaps) of variations in which many, if not most, worship a false prophet such as Jesus (not God) or Mary (not God) or'the holy spirit' (still not God). And like many pagan religions, try to push their beliefs onto others and preach that if we don't all change to their ways, we'll burn in some eternal damnation. I'd like to add that not all are like this, but the majority are. It's just the hipocrisy of it all.
That's not the definition of paganism. And speak kindly friend, to some of us He isn't a false God.

It's commonly used to describe religions that worship more than one god. Many Christians themselves worship Jesus, God and the holy spirit. That would fall under false worship.
in the Bible it says that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are all one and the same. Christianity is a monotheistic religion. so no praising all three is not false worship.
Oh man, this is the most complex question in Christianity, and I'm not a scholar on this so anyone feel free to correct me. The general consensus is that Christianity is monotheistic.
The three entities are the same, yet independent from one another, and still being God. Some Christians believe that God uses them individually, similar to 1 man putting on 3 costumes, but those believers are few and sometimes labeled heretics. The majority of Christians believe that the all three exist independently, but are God.
I don't know of any Christians, who believe God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three separate gods. Generally people pray to God, through Christ, in the Spirit.
synonyms: heathen, infidel, idolater, you left off the best part , damn heathen, I wonder why the middle east called the troops infidels

In the Jewish religion, we read from the Torah, the original Bible. We worship God. Only God. that's all I'm saying not trying to shame or argue just curious as to how it works
Christianity is an extension of Judaism. We read the the Bible is made up of the First Testament (the Torah) and the Second. Yes Jesus was the son of God but that also made him the physical manifestation of God on earth. Hence they are one and the same. As for the Holy Spirit it is the part of God that resides in each and every person that connects us to Him.
I mean, it sorta is a religion, but it's tied to family???? I guess you could become Hindu if you really wanted, but it's not as easy to join as Christianity???? If my statements are inaccurate, feel free to correct me.
Hey @redstrawberry don't tell the other folks in this comment thred I said this, but I think you're right. This joke went down hill, I thought it was funny because I have never met a Hindu who wants to convert someone.
