Maybe,
Or maybe Greek and Persian religious beliefs were incorporated from Judaism and subsequently Christianity.
Or maybe the shared religious beliefs are true.

Imagine a scenario in which all believers and all of their artifacts are totally eliminated. There's no remnants of their holy books on the entire planet. Which group's favorite deity would be the first one to restore them to the planet?
