No doubt many atheists would agree with this curious idea.

I presume you mean during the first century?

Anyhow, it would be most interesting to see the ancient accounts that support the comment that the fathers were adopting ideas from these sources. But candidly I do not think that any exist. (Not getting at you -- but there is so much *rubbish* around on these sorts of subjects, and I have found that not all those who repeat it do so in good faith).

All the best,
