There is a book called "The history of Pagan Europe" by Nigel Pennick that has a pretty description of how Paganism was essentially absorbed into Christian rituals and garb down to the Pope, who's Mitre, staff, robes, etc were the same items the Roman high priests wore...even the layout of the Vatican, the four square pattern, was a sacred Pagan Roman pattern.

Even the people that are nominally Christians are not necessarily really Christians. I took an anthropology course in Spain where the teacher walked us through all of these wacky, ancient rituals that local people around Spain followed, and he showed how they were pagan rituals from pre-Christian times that had been dressed up in Christian theology. Fascinating stuff.
