>So these pagan religions have met nearly ideal conditions for the beginning of a revival.

Nearly ideal conditions, save for one thing: The great god Pan is dead.
>During the reign of Tiberius (AD 14–37), the news of Pan's death came to one Thamus, a sailor on his way to Italy by way of the island of Paxi. A divine voice hailed him across the salt water, "Thamus, are you there? When you reach Palodes, take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead." Which Thamus did, and the news was greeted from shore with groans and laments.

You can't breathe life into something that's dead, and paganism is dead subsequent to a certain event during the reign of Tiberius.
