No. Your own sources do suggest that a man named Jesus started the religion. That's it. Hardly impressive and they were writing decades to centuries after his crucifiction. Zero eye witless accounts.

I do respectfully disagree. Jesus is said to have said that there were people standing there who would see the end-times. He also said that not one jot or tittle would be changed until all things were accomplished. They still aren't. Jesus was an apocalyptic Jew, as were many in his day, including Paul ... during the Roman Occupation. When the end-times did not happen, and the temple was destroyed, they had to rationalize this to remain in power. Jesus never intended to start a new religion. His later followers HAD to, to rationalize what they were seeing all around them. After the temple was destroyed, Judaism was adrift. At the end of the century they were mostly concerned about how to be a faithful Jew, without the temple. That's when the rabbis said "Love God and love your neighbor". That's what's in the gospels ... the concerns of the Jews at THE END of the First Century.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
