Reading the answers so far, you've stirred up a little hornet's next, now haven't you? ;) Still ... I will take a shot at it ...
Death & Resurection? Osiris.
Healing abilities? Iaso and Asklepios.
Demigod? Given that Jesus was the son of the human Mary and of god? Hercules - the son of Zues and Alcmene.
That should cover it, don'cha think?

I don't think that Jesus the man was mythical, he did live and he taught. but, while he was alive the people with the control all wanted him dead. It wasn't until about two generations after his death they decided to "exploit" his name because again they thought this was a good way to control the masses.
The major problem with this is that they killed him before they knew anything about him. Sooooooo, they took stories from Krishna, Buddha, Chaldean, Gnostic, ect, ect, ect. and made a wonderful story of Jesus' life.

the guy, Jesus became a logician and instructor. The mythical Jesus had features from pagan and Greek sources. that's noteworthy that Augustus Caeser became proclaimed a son of god and at his start a comet became stated to have looked as if it would mark the shape - sound popular? you'll discover this from Roman funds from his era.

just in case you don't know? there are hundreds.
and I mean per culture.
many gods though, are the same with different names per country.
for example the god of the underworld
Greek - Hades
Roman - Pluto
Egyptian - Osiris
just a few: greek, egyptian, roman, celtic, hindu, norse, wiccan
you will have to look at your own pace the many sites that practiced the following of gods etc.

I haven't looked that deeply into it, but I know that titles such as "King of Kings" "Prince of Peace" and "Good Shepherd" were all once Osiris's, and I know that Dionysus (God of the vine) of the Greeks had a ritual where wine was his blood.

Jesus is NOT a myth.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin named Mary, who was chosen to be His mother by God the Father.
He is the second member of the Godhead (the third being the Holy Spirit).
God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are 3 separate personages, united in purpose with distinct roles in the Godhead.

This is just another attempt of pseudo-intellectuals, (who are unbeknownst to them being used) to discredit Christianity. They have been trying it for two thousand years. But people are coming to faith in Jesus every day.
