That Jesus existed.

He has different views on the resurrection, obviously.
But at least he, Tim O'Neill and other honest atheists and skeptics can admit that Jesus really did exist in contradistinction with the intellectually lazy Jesus Mythicists who think that merely denying that fact is the easy way to a God-free life.
So... you agree that they accept that a guy named Jesus existed, but not the one in the story who got resurrected, right?
So, what do they say about the Jesus they accept as real?
