What, that's not common knowledge?
Btw, christmas was stolen from Yule. And some stories in the old testament are from Gilgamesh and Atrahasis Epos, like Mose' abandonement in a reed basket as an example.
Literally all beings and concepts in christianity have a pagan origin. Even ancient YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah/Tetragrammaton (God) goes probably back to El.
But i guess that's natural, concepts like an underworld are in above epics too, those sorts of stories developed over civilizations.
You would think it was common knowledge, especially given the fact that Hades is in the Bible but it's not. They want to believe that they are the one true religion and do all sorts of mental gymnastics to keep their religion pure.
These are the same people that get mad when they uear Beethoven's Ode to Joy because he doesn't use the lyrics from the Christian hymn that stole his melody.
