I've read several sources that something similiar in respect to religion only the motivation is slightly difference. For example, in the Roman Catholic religion, many of the pagan rites, ceremonies, and holidays were absorbed from various pagan religions because including things from the old faith served as a sort of lubrication for conversion into the new faith. Even some of the pagan holiday dates were used to kind of place catholicism into the framework of the old ways. That's not to say that the tenets of the Bible are not true or the events spoken about didn't happen ... just maybe the where and when and, to some extent, the how may be slightly skewed.
