"Virtually all of the elements of Orthodox Christian rituals, from miter, wafer, water baptism, alter, and doxology, were adopted from the Mithra and earlier pagan mystery religions. The religion of Mithra preceded Christianity by roughly six hundred years."

I hate to tell you this but altars have been around ever since Abraham's time you know when he built an altar and he was prepared to sacrifice Isaac to God. Believers have been baptizing and anointing with oil long before Jesus came along. So if you are going to bash the christian religion maybe you should read the old testament so you can know what you are talking about and don't sound like an ignorant atheist.
