2. Christians as a group; Christendom.
3. The state or fact of being a Christian.
4. pl. Chris·ti·an·i·ties A particular form or sect of the Christian religion: the Christianities of antiquity.I think that maybe you are the one blinded by your beliefs.
* qualify it, did Catholicism founded on the life and teachings of Jesus? stop generalizing... you're doing that because you are anti-Christianity... you're barking on the wrong tree... the "christians" you think they are, were really Catholics...
* just answer the question directly: does the Bible teach Christmas, Easter and Mary-worship?

Which bible? Just because you wish to call Catholics not Christians does not mean they they are not Christian. Any person who follows the teachings of Jesus is my definition a Christian. That includes Catholics.
Let me guess, you are a Protestant, is that correct? If so, then you should keep in mind that Protestants came from the Catholics. Before the reformation, everyone was a Catholic.

Actually, they'd be about 9th or 10th. Other pagan traditions, parallel, before, or after the Hebrew texts, had many of the same motifs, notably a Satan-figure who was routinely lord of the dead or underworld, and eventually began to play the antithesis of hero figures.
But speaking of sequels to eastern religions:

The only place I recall Satan as a lord of the dead is in the Inferno.
They wouldn't really be 9th or 10th. The same exact deity is explicitly credited in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. While others are similar they are never said to be the god of Abraham. The continuity is not shared by the others until their followers are seen to make the claim (or god clears up his terrible continuity mess)

He went and got permission from God . . .
Satan is an opponent of human frailty not of God.

If we're talking about beings specifically named Satan, then sure. But Egyptian, Babylonian, and others I'm forgetting going all the way back to Zoroastrianism (and likely tribal religions prior to that) all have analogues to the Christian devil, even if their names are different. 9th or 10th might have been an overstatement, but the point is that very little in Christian dogma is an original mythological invention.
