Some folks think it survived, minus the bull, in Christianity.

There are certainly some parallels.

While many believe that Christianity borrowed from Mithraism, there is the counter argument that the cult may of been borrowing from early Christians. Many of the parallels are found only in later Roman versions of Mithraism which might of been influenced by that popular new Jewish cult.
