The roman Catholic Church practiced book burning for centuries. If there was anything, its long gone now. When it comes to the existence of Jesus, look at it this way.
If some guy were walking around my town for 20 years or so healing the sick and raising the dead, I might mention it in my diary. No one said anything at all about him for 50 years after he "died. Don't believe that biblical Horseshit about people living to be 900 or whatever, 50 years was a human lifespan. Life expectancy back then was at best 60 or so, so everyone who had anything to say about jesus never knew him. It's nonsense. Even of we take Josephus and Tacitus at face value, which most people do not, it was second or third hand at the very least which makes it as unreliable as a junior high gossip session.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
