Questions: Religion & Spirituality

Some say the whole myth of "Jesus" (if that was even his real name) is almost an exact rip off of an Egyptian mythical figure called Horus.

They say Horus:
Was conceived by a virgin mother named Meri, and had a stepfather named Seb (Joseph)
Was born in a cave, his birth announced by an angel, heralded by a star and attended by shepherds
Attended a special rite of passage at the age of twelve and there is no data on the child from the age of 12 to 30
Was baptized in a river at the age of 30, and his baptizer was later beheaded
Had 12 disciples
Performed miracles, exorcized demons, raised someone from the dead, walked on water
Was called “Iusa”, the “ever-becoming son” and the “Holy Child”
Delivered a “Sermon on the Mount”, and his followers recounted his sayings
Was transfigured on the Mount
Was crucified between two thieves, buried for three days in a tomb, and was resurrected
Called “Way”, “the Truth the Light”, “Messiah”, “God’s Anointed Son”, “Son of Man”, “Good Shepherd”, “Lamb of God”, “Word made flesh”, “Word of Truth”, “the KRST” or “Anointed One”
Was “the Fisher” and was associated with the Fish, Lamb and Lion.
Came to fulfill the Law, and was supposed to reign one thousand years

So how does one explain away the similarities between the two myths?

What if you just admire it's art?

So many 'atheists' claim knowledge on what existence entails. They see themselves as experts on existence. They falsely accuse theists of not having reasons to think existences are not contained to earthly life only. Theists can provide sufficient reasons why existence is not earthly life based only. Please share your existences views very thoroughly!
