Christian literature is just pagan literature plagiarized. Anything that's good and humane in the bible and not Semitic psychopathy was plagiarized from Greek philosophy, especially stoicism. Even Christian mythology is just "pagan" mythology of the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians repackaged in a new bottle.

This is a super complicated question because Christians historically have viewed the relationship that their specifically religious writings have to their faith in a very different way than how different non-religious traditions have. There was a way in which the writings of the poets informed Greco-Roman religious belief that is entirely absent from how Christian literature informed Christian belief. Themes, ideas and specific illustrations or symbolic metaphors enter into Christian culture from the literature but it never becomes (except for the most simple minded and least curious kind of people) an authority on the religion itself.

And that's just focusing in on Greco-Roman religion. What role did "literature" as a distinct literary form apart from religious texts interact with the Vedic traditions or in the far east? There are allot of religious elements and assumptions in the Tale of Genji but it isn't primarily about any meaningful expression of religious piety. Does it count as Pagan literature? It wasn't written by pagans but it isn't about pagan things.Likewise there is literature produced by Christians that aren't specifically about Christian things.

That is all to say in the most long winded way possible. The question is dumb and you should feel dumb. Be more specific.

Christian literature cuz of Dante and Milton

In Odysseus's Scar, Auerbach argues that the Hebrew scriptures are superior to Homer.

In his book on Dante, he argues that the Gospels invented the literary realism of modernity.

Greek literature is Christian (Catholic) literature. Logos is God and the Gospel of John is the ultimate culmination of Greek thought and literary tradition.

This. The Christian mythology mishmash is so much worse than the original that they copied from. It really shows that the sword is mightier than the pen after all
