Actually, the early Christians worshipped openly in house churches. The followers of Mithras worshipped underground, using catacombs, which had often been dug as mines by the Roman state. In the third century, the Christians took over the catacombs and used them, mainly for burial purposes as a way of showing contempt for the followers of Mithras.
