Protestants do believe in Jesus as the son of God. That’s literally a central tenet of the Nicean Creed, the foundation of every sect of Christianity. If you don’t believe that then you definitionally aren’t Christian. The big difference is they don’t believe in trans-substantiation and don’t do the Eucharist. It sounds like you haven’t really looked into this much tbh.
I’m not policing anything, paganism is as much a religion as Scientology. It’s a mush mash of disparate practices from ancient religions scattered through ancient Europe and the Mediterranean.
I never implied you said this about Greeks by the way. Very dishonest portrayal. I said that you’re basing this position off the writings of philosophers and such, of which there were very few.
This last thing is you just asserting something as true. So if I say, no the vast majority of religious adherents believe the religions they follow I’ve provided the exact same amount of evidence. It also makes far more sense than the idea of “almost no one believes the religion they were raised with”.
