They are not in the same position as the pagans before Christianity. As many theologians have pointed out that ancient "religions" prepared people for Gospel message. Shades and hints of Christianity were buried in the ancient myths.
To leave Christianity for paganism is a much more serious sin than those original pagans who did not have the advantages which we have today.
The attraction to paganism comes from a spirit of rebellion. Pray for those young people who are drawn to all the horrific neo-paganism which surrounds them. One simply cannot flirt with any sort of paganism.
