> showed how you can live a virtous and happy life, but without having to commit to religion

How does Christians cope with this? Especially considering the fact that Christianity adapted their philosophies in the Early Church. Christians want to live happy and virtous lives, and everything they are following can be found in platonic or aristotelean writings, yet they choose to give after to Jesus and God. Even Paul was greatly familiar with platonic philosophy, and used platonic terms all the time. Why is Christ necessary when everything already was said by Plato and Aristotle?
