Christianity is going to be easy.

I like other mythologies because they're interesting, they've got a lot of gods and a lot of other cultures.

Christianity only has Jesus, Moses, God and the Virgin Mary going for it. The mythology is kinda boring and very contradictory of itself. People prefer to cherry pick verses and everything to believe out of than it's intention.

Idk man, when you start looking into the old testament, especially non-official/apocryphal books like the Book of Enoch, it gets pretty interesting. Especially when you take early Judaism in context with the neighboring Canaanite religions

My favorite is the Book of Nod.

There are some kindred who consider that book quite heretical.

The first thing Christians do when they've formed a new group is to figure out who the heretics are.

This... might clear things up just a bit. The Book of Nod is loosely Christian/Abrahamic religion adjacent mythology of the origin of vampires in the ttrpg Vampire the Masquerade. It's the in universe origin myth of vampires.
