Does Jesus Mythicism give atheism a bad name?

[Whateverist]

I am not a mythicist; a lot of atheists are, of course.  As very few scholars are Jesus mythicists, does that POV give atheism a bad name?  Are we no different than the creationists who can point to a tiny handful of scholars who support our position?

I'm not either.  I can't see any reason why it should matter to me whether J was historical or mythical.  To insist on either would seem to be an over-reach.  In that sense you could say it makes atheists who insist on mythicism seem shrill or petty. Even if historical, nothing supernatural need be involved.  Much ado about not very much?
