If you want a better understanding of the foundational myth behind the vast majority of religions (and thus potentially understand the relations between them and the war against them better), you should consider reading Manly P. Hall's the Secret Teachings of All Ages. It systematically goes through the religions and shows how behind them all was always an attempt to make humans realize the eternal power for good within each person, and that though they are all bound to die, they can participate in the great plan of good for the entire universe that is shared by all of us. This is what being "born again" is about, and was the foundation of all mystery religions that kept society together and functional. Dying to your ego so you can work for the betterment of ALL instead of yourself.
