Don't you mean "the introduction of Pagan imagery into Christian art?"
To fully understand the recent past, it is necessary to understand the distant past. That may sound like a load of old bollocks, but I think it's true.

Just do your research, and consider other options . . . ones that don't involve screaming people, mud, or blind adherence to a cause.
