Christianity is heavily influenced by the culture around it. From what I've heard, Jesus started out as just a spirit god that was as high or higher than Yahweh. Major christian holidays incorporate pagan symbolism like trees and rabbits. There's a good handful or so earlier stories about people who came back from the dead. Even if you accepted Jesus' death and resurrection as true, he'd still be among a list of other characters who did the same.
Christianity didn't grow up in a vacuum. It wasn't the first religion, aside from judaism. It wasn't even the first monotheistic religion, aside from judaism. There's nothing special about it, aside from the fact that it lasted longer than many, and it's greatest enemy is a sister religion worshiping the same god. Or different denominations of itsself.
