True by half. They are all rooted in Abraham as well. Christianity started as a jewish sect.
The beliefs I mentioned are not biblical. They were taken from pagan religions as christianity expanded into new territories. It was easier to convince people to accept a slight change to the characters in the religions in the new lands than to convince them to fully abandon their beliefs for a new religion.
That is why, in places where people worship any type of goddess, they replaced it with Mary. All the saints have to do with ancient beliefs that everybody has a personal god based on the day they were born. The cross, hell, life after death, immortal souls, and others have been part of many religions since or before egypt, and a part of many different cultures.
True. Quite the beliefs cocktail. It's much bigger than sun/moon. Every known planet was seen as a god. I suspect the great divide may actually be "Those that are Saturnian("original sun") and "non Saturnian". In the case of the Catholic church one must include the politics of the state as well. The early church was certainly political.
