I've already seen this months before. Old news. But here's rating:

Interesting documentary. Very 'persuasive' but sadly misconstrued. Esp the Christian/Pagan comparison, which has been around for centuries. One of the big things is that:
#1 Christians don't actually believe that Christ was born on December 25th, but decided to celebrate it that day. That alone proves the doco's material is dubious, poorly researched, and extremely unreliable. The author's clearly manipulating data to contrive arguments and evidence. It is only the Roman Catholic's success to fuse pagan practices together with Christian theology that gives the "extra baggage" to Christianity.
#2 The documentary isn't taking into account the fact that the mystery religions (like Horus, Osiris-Dionysus) were (more) grounded in Plato's worldview while the Gospels and Paul are rooted in the Old Testament, so despite the "astonishing similarities" between Greek/Egyptian stories and the Jesus of the Gospels, every single word means something completely different.
#3 The dilemma of the 911 conspiracy: the doco definitely proved that USA, military and corporations, among other conspirators, are capable of global conspiracy by emphasizing that other forces other than the Al-queda terrorists, are behind everything, yet failing to consider that a more realistic, less exciting alternative maybe the zeolot Muslim fundamentalists.
