The differences between myths and history can get really fuzzy especially if you go back in time enough.
Like the Salem Witch Trials for one thing, and people saying what a surprising event that a bunch of people that went all the way to a foreign continent because they couldn't tolerate other types of Christianity and murdered native Americans, could like acuse others of witchcraft,
also a certain type of "Christens" not all christens but the Conservative WASP type of Christianity that's we know call evangelicals and seem to forget they worship a brown Middle Eastern Jewish anti-Government person. And just hate the gays and only care about babies while they in their mothers womb, and not when they are already born
For a couple hundred years the WASP conservative Christians, as the hegemonic cultural force in America, portrayed the Salam witch trials as a spooky, inexplicable thing rather than a frankly typical outgrowth of Christian paranoia
I also dislike the way various deities of Hinduism are depicted in fantasy is still always annoying to me. This is especially obvious in settings where a god's power (or ability to influence the world or something) is based on how much they are worshiped: by the internal logic of the setting they should be far more powerful and active than most other pantheons of gods, but they tend to be treated as being on a par with them at best.
someone else told me it may have to do with sacrifices but people still leave offerings to the Hindu Gods. A lot actually.
Something related but that Supernatural episode Hammer of the Gods that portrays some pagen GODs eating human flesh including Ganesh. And Kali dating Baldur.
edit, you can have positive reimaginings to.
