Jesus, if he existed, was just one of many ...
Some one or a group of people decided to create a new hero, so yes, there was a movement, otherwise Christianity would not exist today. BUT NO, the character as depicted in the bible DID NOT exist as a magical super hero. It is a better explanation that the name was common like John is today, and the character was a result of competing with other hero myths. Jesus simply was the name they gave their mythological hero based on a real movement, not a magical movement with a real god, just a deluded person or deluded group of people. But all of the NT is written way after the fact.
Way after the fact?
How many years after?
