Certainly there is evidence that Christianity exists otherwise it would not exist. But that is not the same as evidence for the fantastic claims in that book, or even for an invisible sky wizard.
Most people don't understand that the character was written about after the alleged time. Peppering real people and real places into a work of literature in fiction and movies all the time. The original book Peter Pan mentions the real city of London but nobody believes that Peter Pan exists.
I am real, and Donald Trump is real, but if I wrote a book right now claiming he gave me 10,000,000 dollars and did so through a magic wand, in Central Park NY would anyone reading that find that to be credible.
The bible does contain real people and real places, but that does not mean there are such things as invisible sky wizards who clone themselves and preform magic tricks like walking on water, turning water into wine, curing the blind without a medical degree and rising from the dead surviving rigor mortis or being born without a second set of DNA. Just like we know men don't pop out of dirt and women don't come from a man's rib.
