Religions that are highly reflective of to modern Christianity?

I'd like a list of all other cultures/Religions throughout history that have striking simalarities with the Christianity of today. Find me dieties with sons whom died, or were "sacrificed for others"...find me others whom have "risen"; find cultures with "gods" or non-physical personalities that numer 12. Indulge me a little?

Update:

Marc p: Yes your correct, appreciate the feedback.

Update 2:

Jacqs: If Abraham-Isaac and Jacob were men, would their views on "God" not simply be "interpretation" based on thier cultural ideology ?

Update 3:

and if there is some "connection" what might that be?

    Mithraism is a good start to your list.

    There is ultimately some connection with all, but only those who know Him have the right connection. You see it is not about religion it's about a relationship with the God of Abraham Isaac & Jacob, the creator of heaven and earth not about man made rules or religions. Just to know Him He wants us to know and love Him and to know He loves us.
