Similarity is not causation.
Im sure you can take apart any number of other symbols in various parts and come up with something....that alone does not prove it is pagan

I understand where you are coming from.
The fish has a long and varied use as a pagan symbol. This may help to explain it better:

I have studied this in great depth. This material is out there for anyone to read.
Most christian symbolism today has pagan roots and ties to trinity or direct ties to occultism. If people would but look they might be a bit horrified at what they find, trinis and oneness alike.
