Some of us talk out our "Dembski's", and some of us just get things done. The following link tells you all you need to know about Mithras - which is basically just another geo-centric astrological believing religion.

However, the early Christian religion did borrow many of it's special holidays from the Roman's, and other religions, so we have Christmas clebrated at Saturnalia, and Easter at the Spring Equinox time etc.
(Most old-timey religions celebrated in the spring/fall for obvious reasons... You get a bad harvest you are screwed, only they figured, they were screwed by the gods... Funny how the more things change, the more they remain the same - with a BIG shout out to Pat Roberston for his outstanding recollection of old-time religions when the Dover verdict came out. What a tool.
