I am quite familiar with scholarship on early Christianity and I have no idea what you could be talking about. Did you just find some geocities website on Mithraism or something? Email me if you have anything of interest.

Perhaps outlining the findings or providing a link will get more and potentially well thought out answers.

Probably because early Christians believed in "Catholic" things like confession and the Eucharist, and didn't make any mention of the "rapture", cheesy 4H sing-along music, or churches that look like warehouses.

Because - obviously! - they've "fallen from religion."
It turns out that the 1st-century "Christian" lifestyle is a bit backwards even for people as troglodytic as the fundies.

Because they overwhelmingly support those things that the Catholic churches hold in common communion, though the various schisms between them are still up in the air.

Why are vague questions with no information making negative statements about Christians without even asking real questions?

Sir,
Your question needs a tad more details in order to be properly answered. I am a university professor of religious studies and would be happy to answer this question if I could understand what specific research findings you are referring to. Please provide a journal citation or reference.

Really....? and why would that be?
Unless of course that research is tainted and deliberately fabricated, regardless of the credibility.

Look up the phrase "Muckrakers" and you will see yourself.
