Soul Invictus

I was wondering if anyone had any background on ancient cultures with a prevailing matriarchal societies, which would be reflected within their spritual system as well. I know these would differ from the patriarchal aspect of Christianity (with it's focus on a "Father/male" god image.

My discussion is based to align the borrowing from cultures (Babylonian,Sumerian,etc) that is prevalent within the Christian theology. We're aware that the borrowing from cultures aided to the legitimacy of Christianity. Established values were borrowed, and modified in hopes to devalue these current ideas at that time. The "new" ideas would become the dominant theme and the old values were to be the "pagan" ideas. This was done with hopes to create a new and distinct theology/God. My hypothesis is that the sex/energy of many cultures' deities was changed from a traditionally female energy to a male image, to appear distinct and legitmate unlike the traditional matriarchal societies. (To the best of my knowledge, patriarchal societies/deity identities were the latter of the two, but correct me if I'm wrong.)
Any opinions on my assertions?
