-Amen
-I bet most of the religious people doesnt even know where that word come from
Of course not, too much willful ignorance out there to expect they would!

Well she's a bit of a nut. The Zodiac was shorthand for astronomical features. It doesn't attribute any special powers to them, especially over God. Criticize the Bible all you want, but at least make it accurate.
The Bible also mentions idols, that doesn't mean the Bible essentially outlines idol worship.
Amun (also spelled Amon, Amoun, Amen, and rarely Imen, Greek Ἄμμων Ammon, and Ἅμμων Hammon, Egyptian Yamanu[citation needed]) was the name of a deity, in Egyptian mythology, who gradually rose to become one of the most important deities in Ancient Egypt, before fading into obscurity.
Amun's name is first recorded in Egyptian records as ỉmn, meaning "The hidden (one)". Since vowels were not written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, Egyptologists have reconstructed the name to have been pronounced *Yamānu (/jamaːnu/) originally. The name survived in Coptic as Ⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ, Amoun.
Gradually, as god of air, he came to be associated with the breath of life, which created the ba, particularly in Thebes. By the First Intermediate Period this had led to him being thought of, in these areas, as the creator god, titled father of the gods, preceding the Ogdoad, although also part of it. As he became more significant, he was assigned a wife (Amunet being his own female aspect, more than a distinct wife), and since he was the creator, his wife was considered the divine mother from which the cosmos emerged, who in the areas where Amun was worshipped was, by this time, Mut.

The god of the Old Testament is Chronos. Are you even aware of this fact? Do your homework, then we'll talk.
Amun(Amen-Ra) was the god representing the Sun at night (in the underworld).
Amen means "So let it be!" in Egyption. Amen-Ra means "So let it be hidden!"
Wikipedia is by no means a complete source of information on these topics. When you do research you should not rely solely on Wikipedia.
Do I have the wrong Amen here then ? I thought "the creator god" was fitting
In that sense, the culture described in the Bible is based on all the previous cultures in the region, among them astrology, idol worship, nature worship, and others. Hebrew culture was adapted from previous ones, but they changed it's basic meaning. The Bible doesn't tell you to worship the stars, but people that worshipped the stars were it's intended audience.
Christianity is not Paganism, but it did adapt elements of Paganism for it's own use (christmas trees, solstice and harvest festivals, a pantheon of spirits (saints)).
It's correct, but not a complete description. Wikipedia often leaves out details of vital significance.
-LOL Remember the "satanistic" band Venom, their members took names...
...Chronos, Abaddon and Mantas
-If I believe that Jesus was a real person and prophet of somekind, like Buddha and others, but he was just a man,then, am I Christian ?
When you realize this lying, murdering, viciously evil god of the O.T. is Chronos it all begins to fall into place. The Greeks and Hebrews both got this practice of Saturn worship from the Egyptians.
