it’s often more effective to graft onto an existing religion (As Christianity did) than to try to yank people wholesale into another.

I've long been struck by the Christian establishment of Christmas on Dec 25 as a replacement for the widely celebrated 'pagan' solstice on Dec 21. I imagine the slight offset was an attempt to weaken the prior fascination.
