Today the god Mithra or Mithras is not recognized by many in the West. In fact, for people who have heard of this god, he is often seen as just another of the many gods that was once worshiped in Europe, the Near East, and South Asia. However, in the early centuries of Christianity, one can argue the worship of Mithras rivaled the Christian religion and if . If Christianity had failed to plant itselfin Europe, then it may have been possible for the worship of this god Mithraism to have become more a lasting and significant religion in later religious history for Asia and Europe. The importance of this god in perhaps bringing influences that Mithra may have also get adopted in influenced both Christianity and other later religions may also be evident.
