“Aside from biblical writers, no one seems to have ever heard of Jesus until some 150 years after his supposed birth. This fact occurred to some scholars in the eighteenth century and was more fully developed in the nineteenth. Thus many have come to question whether this Jesus character actually existed. We seem to have just as much evidence for the existence of Jesus as we have for Hercules or Robin Hood. Perhaps even less.” (Michael B. Paulkovich) 
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
