Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) was a foundational figure in Western philosophy. He was a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, forming a philosophical lineage that profoundly shaped Western thought.

Born in Athens into an aristocratic family.

Originally interested in politics, but turned to philosophy after the execution of Socrates.

Founded the Academy in Athens around 387 BCE — one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world.

Are you implying that Christianity is (Neo)Platonic/Gnostic?
This has already been intellectually hashed & rejected out in the Eccumenical Councils of the Early Church.
Origen took this further and started reducing metaphysical entities to geometric objects to the point of absurdity (this was rejected as the obverse: humans reducing higher things to our understanding rather than the opposite of us perceiving things-in-themselves like angels or abstract transcendental truths (Logoi)).
