I know plenty of them. Dionysus is another close one
Christianity is the only religion that has Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ as its founder.
I think this is pretty self evident.
And Buddhism is the only religion that has Buddha as its founder, Taoism has Lao Tzu as its founder, and Sikhism has Nanak Dev as its founder.
What's your point? That it's self-evident to you that your beliefs are meaningful to you?

Zarathustra is the major one, having a similar story and life events to Jesus, but 830 years earlier.
