"No , they are not dead , but alive and well"
Sort of like the famous parrot in the Monty Python sketch?
Jesus is alive and He is coming again. He rose physically, not spiritually, like all those myths. He is the one that claimed to be above all, so you will have to argue with Him about it when you stand before Him in judgement. I'm sure he will find your eclectic, one size fits all religion to be very amusing.
I find your insistence that every one must fit their beliefs into the image of Joseph Campbell, to be rather narrow, for someone who fancies himself to be so open minded. The differences between Christianity and every other religion, far outweigh any peripheral similarities that you have sighted. All religions, other that Christianity, are an attempt by Man to reach up to God, while Christianity is God condescending Himself to save us.
