1: There aren't very significant similarities between Mithras/Osiris and Jesus
2: The Egyptian religion was enforced by the state, same with many other religions, while Christianity grew despite the state.
3: Jesus was a real person, there is practically no debate amongst scholars of antiquity. Even if we were to exclude the Biblical sources, there are many others such as Tacitus et al. This before we even try to explain the rapid rise of Christianity if there were no Christ.
Tacitus referred to Christians, not to Jesus.
The rapid rise of Christianity happened centuries after the alleged events.
Got anything else?
