Dagda most scholars agree that the gospels were anonymous works and that the names appended to them were later additions.In fact one of the requirements for a work to be considered canonical was that it be written by an apostle of Christ or one of their disciples.That my friend is the only reason that those names were added on to those works.
The Christ myth is as old as time but christianity is also a derivative of the Old Testament prophecies regarding a coming messiah that was going to destroy all the enemies of the Jewish nation and restore them to their place of Gods "chosen people" so that they may rule the Earth.I believe that Jesus was trying to carry out these prophecies,and obviously he failed in his mission.He told his followers:Mark 13:26,30 "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. and then in verse 30 he states "Verily I say unto you,that this generation shall not pass,till all these things be done".
It has been two thousand plus years and none of his prophecy about his return have come true.Of course he said further down that of the hour nor the day no man knoweth.But the point is that he said it would happen during his generation.
For someone with such great influence who the scriptures claimed at one time had as many as 5000 people listening to him whom he later fed.It strikes me odd that hardly anything is said of him outside of the scriptures,not only that when he was being crucified where were the multitude of his followers?Nowhere to be found even his apostles abandoned him.
Christ was a myth in the making way before the advent of Christianity and the Old Testament and later the dead sea scrolls which by the way never mention Christ by name but only perpetuate the myth of a coming messiah attest to this.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
