Oh absolutely. They just love to use Jesus as a hate tool.
Ironically I actually feel far closer to Jesus now than I ever did as a Christian.
I now view him more like an ancient Dalai Lama.
Just imagine the Dalai Lama going around teaching the same moral values that Jesus taught. And then imagine them taking the Dalai Lama and beating the hell out of him and nailing him to a pole for blaspheme.
That's basically what happened.
So I respect Jesus in the same way that I would respect Tenzin Gyatso (the Dahai Lama). Jesus was just a mortal man in the same way as Tenzin Gyatso.
In fact, if the Hebrew rumors of Jesus were true and Jesus was some sort of divine being, then I would have absolutely no respect for him at all. None whatsoever. For a supreme being to pull a stunt like that for the sake of creating a drama play would be truly despicable. But for Jesus to be the planned demigod Son of the God of Abraham, that would mean that the God of Abraham would have had to design this whole charade in the first place. And that's not good!
On the contrary that would be one hell of a disgusting thing to do.
Jesus as a mortal man can be an admirable thing.
Jesus as a demigod would be nothing but a disgrace for both Jesus and God.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
