Just because the previous religions were false doesn't mean that Christianity is also. The pattern is broken. The examples I gave, Mithras and Osiris, were both mystery cults whereas Christianity was/is not.I don't think all subsequent examples must also have X. I think a subsequent example that you claimed to be different from X would have something different, such as Y. Since Y is lacking in your example, we can conclude that it's not different.
