Another answer from our community:No. Christianity was totally opposed to the mystery religions at its beginning and should still be. The mystery religions were a form of idol worship, sun worship and other pagan practices. They were called "mystery" religions because some of their practices were kept secret by those who participated in them. John 18:20 says, "Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing."
The origins of Christianity are clearly in the early Jewish faith. Some see further influences from Greek paganism and ancient Greek philosophy, particularly Platonism. Others say that Christianity could have evolved from the mystery religions.

Prior to Christianity, the Axumite people practiced a variety of polytheistic beliefs.
