Mithra : The veneration of this God began about 4000 years ago in Persia.
Horus: The name "Horus" is a general catchall for multiple deities, the most famous of whom is Harseisis (Heru-sa-Aset) or Horus-son-of-Isis (sometimes called Horus the Younger) who was conceived after the death of his father, Osiris, and who later avenged him. 3000 BC
Vishnu: Vishnu is regarded as a major god in Hinduism and Indian mythology. He is thought as the preserver of the universe while two other major Hindu gods Brahma and Shiva, are regarded respectively, as the creator and destroyer of the universe. 1500 BCE
These religions all predate Christianity. There are those who believe Paul/Saul borrowed from many other mythos to build Christianity.
