Conclusions on different groups, relatively speaking:

Marcionites, Valentinians, Sethians, and Hermetic Gnostics are closer to Christianity than Greco-Roman or Egyptian mythology

Marcionites, Valentinians, Sethians, and Hermetic Gnostics are closer to Christianity than Vedic, Vedantic, or folk Hinduism, modern Hare Krishna, or Mandaeans

Islam and Baha’i are closer to Christianity than Marcionites, Valentinians, Sethians, and Hermetic Gnostics

Judaism is closer to Christianity than Marcionites, Valentinians, Sethians, and Hermetic Gnostics

Bardasenes was closer to Christianity that Judaism

Ebionites are closer to Christianity than Judaism

It is hard to compare closeness of Ebionites vs. Bardasenes to Christianity

Arians are closer to Christianity than Ebionites.

Nestorians and Monophysites are both close to orthodox Christianity than any of the preceding

It is hard to compare closeness to Christianity of Ebionites vs. Encratites, because they differ from Christianity in fundamentally different ways.`
