It's pretty accurate. Nearly all the biblical stories have antecedents from previous religions. The flood, Jonah and the Whale, on and on and on, nearly identical stories appropriated by the christian religion for it's own use. The bible was also 'created' by Pope Damascus by choosing which of the hundreds of texts purporting to Christian theology were divinely inspired. Last but not least, Christ was far from the only 'savior' floating around during his lifetime, there were hundreds of them, some more successful than others. He's just the one who won the lottery by having the very effective Paul as a disciple. Paul is far more responsible than any other figure for Xtianity having the position it has today.
