So, other religions that personified evil were right as they identified Satan long before Christianity became a thing?

BTW Christianity ADOPTED those rituals. Christianity even moved Christmas itself to winter just to incorporate into those pegan rituals.

Don't you understand what that implies about Christianity and all Christian rituals?

By the way, most Christian rituals are actually unbiblical. The Romans bastardized Christianity. Personally I think it was a mistake to allow Christianity to be co-opted by Rome.

Christians used to meet in small groups in homes, study the scripture, and try to follow Jesus. The church was a very decentralized structure.

It was too hard to control so the Romans herded everyone into former temples and set up a hierarchy that they could influence. This is when it became easy to introduce all kinds of heresies.

The only rituals I can think of in the New Testament are baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and meeting together as a church.

The book called Romans was written by Paul to Christians living in Rome during the first century long before the Roman Empire injected itself into the church. The verse I quoted was just an illustration about how people all over the world began to worship the created things, like fallen angels and demons, instead of the Creator.
