Which religions had the story of a god who dies for his people?
The Mithraic something or other??
('Heathen' was once a negative description, in the heyday of imperialism (perhaps I am mistaken to believe that is in the past?) but there is no reason the feel so.
The history of Christianity and of the secular ideologies that retained those habits of thought make heathens seem quite attractive to me.)
