What was the best mystery cult in Rome and how come they spread so far accross all of Europe as opposed to the religions they diverged from? My country used to be in the area of Noricum and Raetia and there ain't a single Germanic pagan remnant here only some celtic things and lots of stuff from the Mithras cult. Even Kybele and local pagan goddesses were merged see Sinora and Apollo worship. Which cult was the best and which one would you in your opinion love to revie or do some of them still live in another form? Let's hear your thoughts.

Christianity was the perfect cult so it became the first religion.

It was perfect for Roman emperors who wanted control. Especially after they took all of the gnosticism out of it and subverted Jesus' message.

there was no Gnosticism in it. Jesus clearly proclaimed he was son of god and was fulfilling OT. Christianity actually sucks for pure control: it teaches restraint for rulers and has clear moral lines that leaders cant cross (whereas paganism had the emperor as the literal leader of the religion, for the romans).
