The development and growth of any new religion in a society is already one of the more implausible events in human experience ( despite its regularity, the devil being in the details).
It would probably help to hear what the op considers the most compelling details and how they fit to support the authors narrative, though.
Not to put words in the OP's mouth, but I get the distinct impression that he read the book, then went looking for things (in this case, coincidences) that appear to support Atwill's premise. Precisely the wrong way to go about it. Caesar's Messiah has been refuted almost since the moment it was printed.
