No, though it might be vice versa.
Voodoo shrines often have images of saints leading one to thinking it is Christianity based, when in fact this was just a cover up by black slaves to practice voodoo in plain sight. Certain Loas (spirit guides or deities) were represented by with certain saints.
For example, Papa Legba is alternately St. Peter or St. Lazarus, Ayizan is Saint Clair, and so on
And technically speaking, Lazarus was raised to resume normal life (to later die again), while Jesus died and raised from the dead *TRANSFORMED* into His glorified body (which is perhaps why his closests friends/apostles didn't recognize Him) which is eternal.

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. I thought voodoo was for hurting people, not making them well.Christianity has nothing to do with voodoo.

Jesus obtained his powers from God; voodoo priests obtain them from Satan, which is why God forbids the practice of witchcraft. So although Jesus had powers, the source of them are different than with a voodoo priest.

Voodoo is of evil spirits. Spirits in rebellion against the Lord God.
Christianity is from Christ. Christ meaning the Anointed. This is also spiritual power, but the Lord God's spiritual power.
Lazarus was brought back to life to show the resurrection power of the Lord God.
Also, The Lord God delivers people, from their sins & the destruction of the devil, who may be in bondage of voodoo spirits.
rp_joe is right.

The Voudoun religion did "hide out" within Christianity for quite a while, so there were enough similarities in common.

I'm not so sure about Voodou, but he did practice magick. It's just that the definition of magick that Christians know is very distorted.

There is no difference. Only some of the names have been changed.
