I don't think any is superior to the other. Pagans had the freedom to develop a religious philosophy in harmony with the folk beliefs believed in sincerely by people. Pagan deities make no claims of being perfect. They are flaws just like the minds that invented them, and they can be wrong. That allows followers to learn from the mistakes of their deities.
Paganism is more rational when it comes to recognising that different peoples have different cultural beliefs, which naturally extends to faith and religion, whereas Christianity is a demanding singular way of seeing the world.
And paganism is not growing in Europe, only fringe groups follow it. According to the 2011 census, around 0.1% of people in Scotland listed some form of neopaganism as their religion. In Denmark there are roughly 600 members of the organisation for Asetro, people who believe in the pre-Christian Norse religions. Some of those are notable members of nationalist groups, some are hippies, but the majority are normal people.
There were roughly 350 people in Norway adhering to Norse Paganism in 2011. Active pagans in Poland range somewhere between 100 and 200 people. In Russia, neopaganism (Native Faith) is usually tied with the notion of some ancient Slavic civilisation which was destroyed by the Jews, who covered it up, and manipulated Russians through Christianity, it draws heavily on surviving information about Slavic pre-Christian beliefs, which are not too far off from Norse paganism, as well as Vedic practices.
Paganism in Europe left not enough heritage to be revitalised since no description of the cults, the philosophy and ideology, the worldview and view on world mechanics from true ancient origin exists; the known stuff like the Edda or the Merseburg charms were written down by Christian monks several generations after the vanishing of paganism; only some stuff orally translated by your grandma who heard about it by her grandma.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in Europe though.
