Roger that. It's not as if they were taking dictation from other religions (except when they were.......)...... it's that people all over the world have decided to think about gods this way. Christians weren't the sole inventors, or the first inventors, or the last inventors, of redemption. They, like everyone else on earth, were influenced by culture - but we can probably agree that this influence wasn't required for them to come up with the kind of god they did anymore than christian influence was required for those others to come up with their take on the same.
Christians tell me that one god died to save the world, I see that, and raise them entire pantheons of gods who served the same function.
