Not really. They are an improvement over the pagan religions.
The term "pagan religions" is a little ethnocentric, don't you think?

They're just not perfect. A lot of brutalities are leftovers from old religions and traditions.
These religions of which you speak, the pagan ones, were largely eliminated by the Christians. The church thought those old form of worship were directed at Satan. This is ironic because Satan is a deity of the Abrahamic group.

And a lot of the flaws in the religions are based in the primitive superstitious aspects.
Religion is, itself, based on primitive superstition.
