Former Jesuit John Allegro, who appeared to have access to some ancient writings that are kept from the public in Vatican, theorized in his book "The Secret Cult of the Sacred Mushroom" that Jesus was actually a toadstool and that so-called "primitive Christianity" was nothing other than a secret toadstool cult. The fly agaric was the flesh of Christ, which was consumed at the Last Supper, a nocturnal cult circle, along with the blood of Christ, red wine. If that's true, "early Christianity" would be a direct continuation of the cult of Dionysus, in which apparently wine infused with mushrooms was drunk.
