Ill finish the movie tonight...
rest assured that not everyone is just batting an eyelash... just crurious about the religion aspect..
Come on... if the predated replicated deities thing is at all factual... I mean thats a huge hole to be looked at.
My only thought is... If this is true at all, if any of these deities do or did hold these similarities.... Im sure I would have heard of this theory a way long time ago. Seems like too controversial of a theory to be not known or spouted forth from non believers.

The movie also seems to suggest that astrology is the basis of Christianity, which is not the full story. My understanding is that most significant Chrsitian dates line up with certain astrological and solar activities but that doesn't mean those events inspired Christianity. They inspired pagan events.
Christians then celebrated their own events on the same days for a couple of reasons. Firstly, in the early days Christians were persecuted for their beliefs and the only time they could celebrate their beliefs was during pagan celebrations so as not to arouse suspicion. When Christianity became more popular, celebrating those events on the same days as pagan events became more about overshadowing the pagan rituals they used to hide behind.
