21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
So, from a Biblical POV, some similar motifs are not surprising.
Isn't it curious that the Bible "ended" once Paul had set up the religion? Other than the Book of Revelation the Bible was "finished". It is old and arguably "outdated".
