Logical deduction considering the facts. Christ was born of a virgin mother on DEC 25Th, performed miracles, feed the poor, walked on water....all done before him by various others, Zorastrians among them.
Because of the idea of opposite good and evil spiritual powers, which so far as i know is first known to have appeared in that religion. Zarathustra was also born of a virgin and there are angels. It?s really quite similar, and a sort of prototype for Abrahamic religion.
