BTW, since you were aware of the similarities, what Church fathers did you read? Did you find them useful? Can you recommend me any books?
Lee loved Athanasius, because of his statement about "make man God."

Lee also had "helpers" who did much of his reading and research for him.

Here is an interesting story I just heard. After Lee died, LSM took groups of saints into his house during the trainings to see how the "MOTA" lived. During one such tour, a friend of mine happened to notice that some book(s) which were prominent in Lee's library were by an author noted to be heretical. The brother pointed this out to the LSM docent, who informed others, who quickly removed the book(s). He somewhat remembered that the book(s) was by Emanuel Swedenborg.
