Almost all of that is made up. Athiests love to make up stuff about ancient cults that Christianity was supposedly copied from. Since there aren't any Dionysians around (well, none that call themselves that) who's to know they're making everything up? Dionysius, Mithra, Bacchus, Adonis weren't dying and resurrecting god-men, for instance. None of the Roman era mystery cults (most of whom weren't older than Christianity) actually had anyone being born in a humble dwelling on Dec. 25th. But who cares, just lie about it. None of them had someone who turned water into wine at a wedding. None of them died on the same day Jesus was executed. None of them involved a meal of bread and wine which represent his body and blood. None of them were based on historic individuals at all, even.
