Mithraism was
popular I've read among
Roman versions of
upper middle-class
soldiers, traders, craftsmen and
some of the elite.
Does anyone know
if conspiracy types think
the cult has survived
in the modern world?
I've looked around the net and
don't see many links.

Some folks think it survived, minus the bull, in Christianity.
There are certainly some parallels.

The reason I ask
is the phrase "Sol Invictus"
is
linked to Mithras.
Of course "Invictus"
was
Timothy McVeigh's choice for his "final words" . . .

Is there any one
reason that you wish to use
haikus for your posts?
