In a way, yes. Mythology is what a culture defines itself by. In that way, Greek mythology was to the Greeks what the Bible is to modern Christians. It was the religion that they held dear.

Did Jesus go to Greece?
No, there is no evidence that Joseph, the father of Jesus, had any relation to Greek religion. By all historical accounts, Joseph was a Jew, as was Mary, the mother of Jesus. (And even if you believe, as Christians do, that Joseph was more like a stepfather, since the actual father of Jesus was God Himself, there is still no evidence that the God of the Jews was also involved with Greek mythology.) That said, yes, there are stories in Greek mythology about miracle births, gods who have a son, dying and rising gods, etc. However, Jesus is not part of ancient Greek religious beliefs.
