The mythicist position is demonized because it is threatening to their beliefs. It's just a hypothesis, like any other hypothesis about folklore, yet it attracts an intense amount of ire. Why? Because if it's true, then all of Christianity is false. That's enough to give it a bad name, regardless of the merits of the hypothesis. Anti-mythicism is about the politics of religion. It's not about the position itself.
