Wait, what? Modern Christianity is Paganism wrapped in a virgin-birthed resurrected redeemer trope. The theme had been tried SO many times before it was fibally successfully applied to Jesus. In order to gain broader acceptance, Paganistic holiday rituals and polytheistic God worship (father, son, holy ghost, saints, angels, and the Virgin Mary for Catholics).
Jesus of Nazareth is the latest in a LONG line of guys with the same story. He was just the most successfully used charasmatic figure. His own ideals probably varied a great deal from what people attributed to him after his death (in the long time following his death before anyone decided to actually write anything down).
... and make no mistake, "used" is the correct term.
