One of my favourite ancient sites that is within a reasonable traveling distance from my home is the Mithraeum at Carrawburgh Fort, along Hadrian’s Wall.
Personally, I require but one piece of evidence that Christians stole Mithras’ birthday.
That piece of evidence is a single polemic or personal correspondence, from the time, wherein a dissenting Christian writer calls the official church hierarchy a nest of heretics and blasphemers.
