The connection between falsification and religion can be seen in the Christian narratives. These function on several levels. They usually reflects other falsifications or myths.
1) Beginnings-usually involving supernatural beings.
2) Connections to previous spiritual or holy figures.
3) preparation
4) significance and drama of death
5) significance and drama after death
Christianity fits into Egyptian and Greek myths.
The mother and son intimacy is Egyptian. Christ's perfection of character, expressed through his relationship with others, combines Greek and other ancient myths. Christ's story revolves upon the principles of Greek drama-involving two births (beginnings), a chorus and an end.
All ancient societies engaged in falsification, perceiving it as a kind of reality.
