Well we should also be calling him Osiris-Dionysus and a couple others...
Basically we should just call him: "Mythical figure that's basically a plagiarized quilt sewn together from different pagan gods."
Or "Myth" for short.

Christianity is a mix of various ancient religions. Many Christians would adapt Pagan rituals and beliefs in order to conform it to Christianity and encourage Pagans to convert. There is also a connection of Jesus with Osiris and Horus, two Egyptian Gods. There are many connections between Christianity and the ancient polytheistic religions (dealing with God-men like Jesus.)

Nope. They are two different beings. Mithras may or may not exist; we are not acquainted. Jesus is real.

There were many, many deities born of a virgin, supposedly. The story is not new and only makes the story that Jesus was that much less believable.
