Do I think Jesus was a real person? It is perfectly plausible he did exist, though there is little legitimate evidence to support that fact. "Jesus" also could have been a common name back then for all I know (it certainly is in Mexico/Latin America today!) so there may have been hundreds or thousands of "Jesus'" around).
Do I think a man named Jesus brought about the ideals of Christianity? It was on-par with the timeframe in history for there to be "prophets" who convinced gullible people to follow them (much like cults today). Interestingly there were also "Johnites" around at that time (as in the gospel of John) along with many other groups of a similar nature that were either lost to time or absorbed into other groups. Seems Christianity is the one that took off. Again, little physical evidence, but enough anecdotal to make it probable.
