I'm not either.  I can't see any reason why it should matter to me whether J was historical or mythical.  To insist on either would seem to be an over-reach.  In that sense you could say it makes atheists who insist on mythicism seem shrill or petty. Even if historical, nothing supernatural need be involved.  Much ado about not very much?
