The advantages would be an instant history spanning thousands of years, existing holy texts that you could incorporate as your own and an existing fan base of potential followers.

The downside would be that some of the adherents of the old religion are likely to get very pissed and may even do something drastic, … they may even crucify you!

Bob, you also might want to change the dates on some of your sacred events so they better align with the already existing holidays of your target audience!
