Even the early Christians did it. The so called Ophite groups like the Naassenes are a perfect example, who equated Jesus with a whole host of dying and rising Gods from Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt. The Freemasons do similarly, as do many other Christian esoteric orders. Even the name Jesus is itself derived from Ieso (recuperation), the daughter of Aesculapius, who's initiates were called Christoi and functioned as nurses and doctors in the hospital-temples of their day (eg. Pergamon). Not to mention the entire theological tradition of Judaism, Islam and Christianity (eg. the Trinity) are practically wholesale plagiarised from Hermeticism and NeoPlatonism.
