Christians: Why is the virgin birth story such a popular one in history?

From Christopher Hitchens:
“…the Greek demigod Perseus was born when the god Jupiter visited the virgin Danaë as a shower of gold and got her with child. The god Buddha was born through an opening in his mother’s flank. Catlicus the serpent-skirted caught a little ball of feathers from the sky and hid it in her bosom, and the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli was thus conceived. The virgin Nana took a pomegranate from the tree watered by the blood of the slain Agdestris, and laid it in her bosom, and gave birth to the god Attis. The virgin daughter of a Mongol king awoke one night and found herself bathed in a great light, which caused her to give birth to Genghis Khan. Krishna was born of the virgin Devaka. Horus was born of the virgin Isis. Mercury was born of the virgin Maia. Romulus was born of the virgin Rhea Sylvia.”

HellFrier, Thank you for great research work. I suppose the virgin birth story is one of purity. Cain was rejected by Adam because of Eve’s adultery with the Nodite, Cain’s father. Cain killed Abel because Abel continually ridiculed him for not being Adam’s son. Although the cover story has fooled most, It seems man still feel the need to purify mankind through something like the virgin birth.
