Is the story of Jesus similar to pagan mythologies that preceded Him? If so, does this mean the claims of Christianity are false related to Jesus?

No, to understand this you have to truly understand the events from the flood to tower of Babel.
God gave Adam and Eve the promise of the seed of the women. This along with everything else was passed from generation to generation then came the flood. Only 8 people survived. These 8 people continued to pass these stories till the tower of Babel. At that time the whole world knee that this promised seed was to come. Then God confounded the languages. When the people dispursed across the globe they took those stories with them. This is why many pagan religions had this God man account in their history. Like the flood accounts, there is over 280 flood accounts all over the world. The thing about the Bible is God had a righteous line that came from Noah to Shem this was Abraham’s great grandfather. So the accurate account was preserved through that lineage Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob to Christ. -
It may also lend validity as a carry over from our common ancestery from am Adam, and other means to cause them to seek the full truth. Scripture does say humanity has no excuse for not believing. They use that proof insteaad as a reason not to believe. A perverse race we are ideed.

I have a question sir, i went through God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and i observed almost similar claim about resemblance but he was talking about the flood having some similarities with some ancient legends. How can you be able to counter?

Unfortunately for Pagans, Jesus was an actual person who walked on earth, not mythology, or a carved image.
Unlike Pagans, this human called Jesus claimed to be God, and would rise from the dead in 3 days. He died, and on the third day his tomb was found empty with a posted roman guard.

We have written eyewitness testimony of those who lived with, ate with, touched, conversed with, and travelled with before and after His resurrection from the dead. And then years later, all but one were killed for their testimony. People don’t die for deliberate lies. Their testimony is all I need, but better yet, I and hundreds of millions other Christ-followers have the indwelling Holy Spirit who affirms the veracity of the written Word (which He wrote through humans) and the living Word, Jesus Christ Himself.

Im sure the devil knew that God is a trinity and he has been around for a loooong time.. but the pagan mythology-Christian hypothesis has been debunked.
Pagan rome adopted Christianity but the message is the real Gospel, Christianity was bait for the devil -

Satan is a master counterfeiter. He counterfeits ahead of time.

Pagans or non-pagans. People are people who can screw up their lives and need help. Divine help.
