Mithras has been practiced by several societies. The Roman Empire practiced it from about the 1st to the 4th century. This deity was honored as the patron of loyalty to the emperor. The Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war in pre-Zoroastrian Iran. In India they worship Mithrathe the Indian form of Mithra and appears as “friend” and as “contract.”
In short, Mithra may signify any kind of interpersonal communication and whatever establishes good relations between people. Mithra was called the Mediator. Mithra was also the god of the sun, of the shining light that beholds everything, and, hence, was invoked in oaths. The Greeks and Romans considered Mithra as a sun god. He was probably also the god of kings. He was the god of mutual obligation between the king and his warriors and, hence, the god of war. He was also the god of justice, which was guaranteed by the king. Whenever people observed justice and contract, they venerated Mithra.
Notice how whenever someone here posts information about Mithra/Mithras/Mithraism, a bunch of garbage replies are made to that comment which attempt to direct you back to Angelina or some other garbage video and/or buzzwords?
It's possible its all part of the same religion of corruption or evil? The old Mithraism comes from Iran, it was Zoroastrian Divinity possibly connecting to the old gods of Persia, Babylon and Arabia. The bull killing and sacrifice from Persian rituals become part of European ritual, it might even connect to Spanish bull fighting and old Greco-Roman practices. One theory says these rituals became part of Masonry, they move from Arabia into Rome into France and eventually go to London, Scotland and it enters and subverts Masonic rituals in the United States. The old religion mysteries were popular among the Roman military from about the 1st to the 4th century.
Even supposing there's weight to the theories, you would at best be looking at theft/misappropriation which then became further excuse to carry out persecution of Zoroastrians and related, non-malicious religious minorities such as the Yazidis; propaganda to justify hostilities and to beat said minorities down.
There's nothing to indicate that the Zoroastrians or Yazidis are corrupt or evil, especially in comparison to those who have persecuted them.
Roman Christians participated in the persecution, thus you could possibly argue that Roman Mithraism might be a misappropriation and malicious in nature -- I'll give you that much.
