I am familiar with and have spent, and will continue to spend many hours of time on Lexis Nexis, and various Academic Portals.
You didn't cite a recent refutation of Allegro, at all. If one encounters Ethnobotany, and Entheobotany in even Undergrad Anthropology, Archaeology, Sociology, or Historic Psychopharmacology, especially within an Comparative Religions Context, it is a mainstream sense at this point, per the textbooks having to cover it, at least as a Theory.
This means you have far more than just Allegro's work to contend with, across a spectrum of Disciplines. The connections between Mithraism, and Christianity, at this point, both containing Astro-theological dying and resurrecting Solar Agricultural Deities, are unambiguous. In the case of Mithraism, you again for The Mushroom Cult. What exactly was/is your Academic Background?
I didn't cite her, but prior to the Council Of Nicea, many Christians didn't believe in the "Divinity" of Yeshua Ben Yoseph. They thought he was a man, and a teacher(Rabbi), but not a God/god. So when it was put to a vote, and the Losers lost, their Theology was scrubbed, their books destroyed, their teachings forbidden, and much was added to create the "Big Tent", for Political Purposes of Mind Control, which is essential to Government.
Govern-To Control.
Ment- The Mind.
This is the job of Priests, and Rulers, in any Civilization. Social Engineering.
The Cult of Mithras, became the Cult of Sol Invictus, which became the Roman Catholic Church. This is not contested by Secular Historians, and Archaeologists. This isn't some Great Secret, and at the core of all of it, is an Agrarian Civilization, managed by Priests(Smart Scholars), who are responsible for running the whole show.
Like the Pentagram being an Astronomical Representation of the Orbital Motion of Venus(Lucifer-Sun of The Morning, Herald of The Sun/ God), as observed by these Astronomer Priests, and creators of Calendars, much can be added by later, or competing groups, on top of Primary Religious Symbolism. Like all of the Solar Cult aspects added by the Cult of Sol Invictus(A Solar Cult), over the early stories of a Rebel Jew, in the Roman Province of Judea.
Ahh, linking to Allegro hagiography to prove that he wasn't bonkers...are you not familiar with how you go about checking an academic source?
If you actually think "academia" is on board with this then I genuinely feel sorry for you.

I knew astro-theology was coming (muh Acharya S!?!?!)...you get the final word here.
Sorry, didn't catch your Academic Background?
