Since it seems that there are more than a few who look on the other forms of worship with more than a little disdain. I have a question if you wre to strip away from Christianity all those things they borrowed or stole from the other spiritual paths, what is left that is Christian?
Really, what are the orginal ideas that Christianity has brought to religion?

the Christians you are referring to are what is known as Christendom.they make up part of the false religion or Babylon the great.so to answer your own question you will have to find a religion out there that teaches truth in its absolute sense with originality based on the authentic bible,not the bibles that have been manipulated by Christendom.that religion is there around you but you need to be very open hearted and humble to discover all the lies you have been fed over the years.

ok, Christianity totally didn't borrow. it's a (kind of) extension of Judaism, because the Messiah came. the first Jews were Christians. unfortunately the Jews today are still looking for the Messiah. next time you ask a question like that, could you please give a few examples so that we can at least tell what you're talking about?

Perhaps now you are ready to explore the teachings of Yeshua Messiah [PBUH] when He said:
"Take my yoke [teachings] upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart... For my yoke is easy and my burden [worldly possesions] is light." --Matthew 11:29-30.
Read the Essene Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ and you will find some answers to what you seek...
Peace be with you.

Christ is not even original. His mythology is mostly borrowed from other mythologies, such as Buddha and Mithra.

Peace...
Tragically, religion inspires bigotry which leads to war. Once we erradicate such beliefs (that is all religion is), then we will be at peace.
