"Mithraism is the ancient Roman mystery cult of the god Mithras. Roman worship of Mithras began sometime during the early Roman empire, perhaps during the late first century of the Common Era (hereafter CE), and flourished from the second through the fourth century BCE. during which it came under the influence of Greek and Roman mythologies. The Mithraic cult maintained secrecy. Its teaching were only reveled to initiates." This is from the first link in your post. Look at the dates given and then ask yourself which came first. There was definitely influence but as I said it was biblical Christianity that influenced later Mithra myths, not the other way round.
