No it was decided by a council to distinguish "true" Christianity from the heretics. It still stands as the definition of orthodox Christianity today, if you believe something else different the Nicene Creed Christians won't consider you as belonging to their club.

imo Christianity is a mixture of Judaism and classical paganism. All common the themes and elements you would expect to see in a pagan myth are right there. It's almost by the numbers, this was even mentioned by opponents to Christianity right from the start. It's most likely a product of the pagan Mysteries but one that was adapted for Jews so they could join in. The eating of the bread that represents the body of the god and the drinking of the wine that represented the blood was a big part of the Mysteries. The initiate would take on the properties of the god by ingesting them into their own body and so attaining some kind of cosmic awareness.
