This is true, though. The Romans were Christians for a long period of their history and were thus monotheistic. But there was a lot of veneration of saints and especially of the Virgin Mary in those days, which IMO is vaguely polytheistic.

I wouldn't go that far, Christianity had a totally different explanation for how the world was made, and what sort of relationship that its adherents should form with its deity, versus what the Greeco-Roman religions said. Indeed, they were so incompatible that for a long time the two groups were violently opposed and each persecuted the other depending on who was in power. It was far from a simple rebeanding.
But certan elements of Greek and Roman religion were incorporated into Christianity. For example, one of the Pope's titles, Pontifex Maximis, was originally used for the highest priest within the Roman religion. Certain Christian holidays, also have their origin in Roman festivals.

Nit picking. There have been violent oppositions even between sects of Christianity. At a sufficient zooming any difference can be seen as arbitrarily large.
