I'm wondering if there is a similarity between the resurrection of Christ and the "2nd birth" of the Son of Zeus. If so, is Christianity nothing but reformed Greek mythology?
What's the common denominator between Jesus Christ and the son of Zeus?

Christianity is an amalgam of nearly every other mythology that predates it.
That's the secret to its success. By incorporating things people were already familiar with it made conversion much easier to swallow.

Nope it isnt.......why are you trying to bring down christianity, God son Jesus was Born ONCE not TWICE, and RESURRECTION means to rise, REBIRTH means new life, STOP TRYING TO GIVE CATHOLICISM A BAD NAME MATE....leave us alone, go pick on another eligion, mate if it wasnt for Jesus and God, u wouldnt have a smart barin

Greek, Egyptian, Jewish, Christian and Islam are all cut from the same cloth.
So, there is intelligent life out there.
jesus pays homage to zeus, as does sos, sis, sous.
paul was the first to write of jesus, and even said that jesus was revealed to him in a hallucination - revealed to him FIRST.
paul says in Acts 17:18 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.
That poem is an ode to ZEUS by the ancient poets and paul here tells you EXACTLY who god is - ZEUS, and tells you that his movement is also the offspring of ZEUS!!!!!
There's more, but I'm not writing a book here. LOL.

Yes and no --
In a sense you're correct that Christianity and Greek mythology share some common elements. However, you also need to remember that the myths that you read today -- many of them were only written in the last 1000 years. Or, they were translated in the last 1000 years and made to sound more "poetic" by giving them literary themes that we already know. For example, Harry Potter and the story are Jesus Christ as almost one in the same. That's just because there are only so many stories out there, so we need to replace the existing story-lines with new characters.
Hope this helps

that is almost true. you can see that christian portray god that looks similarly like zeus, ironically. so same goes to son of zeus, which they (the christians) practically referred to for the image of jesus.

I don't see the similarity, myself.
Much more similar are the Greek and biblical stories of the flood.

No, it's different. The Greeks made up stories (Greek mythology) to explain how things happened, like the wind blowing, and reflections in a pool of water. Christianity is based upon actual events that happened, not made up by some guy in a toga.
