Also Christianity religious beliefs in the first testament are from Judaism and that all the holidays where based off of the holidays of the religion Asatru. Both Asatru and Judaism were created years before Christianity. So with Asatru is the belief of the Nordic gods. Odin is an actual person, he hung himself upside down from a tree, stabbed with a spear, and lastly gave/lost one of his eyes. The reason he has done this was for knowledge, therefore he found the ruins and now are called runic English which became modern English we have today. Odin died then was resurrected into Godhood. This sounds very similar to the Christian story of Jesus. Jesus is a real person and he made a sacrifice for the greater good which was dying for our sins. He has died then was resurrected showing again his Godhood. Very similar yet Asatru dates back thousands of years before Christianity.... Then how Christianity really started and the New Testament was when the Jews did not except Jesus as the messiah. So really Christianity was based off multiple ideas of other religions after Jesus was rejected.
