I'm actually offering them a really great alternative view.
Many people demand that Christianity is a totally fabricated myth.
I'm giving the Christians a way to save Jesus as a respectable historical figure.
Sure they'll have to give up the whole "Christ" thing. But most of them don't truly care much for that nonsense anyway. You might be surprised how many Christians would just be happy to keep Jesus and dump the God of Abraham.
In fact, it's the very idea that Jesus spit in the face of the God of Abraham that makes him so attractive to the Christians in the first place. They love the fact that Jesus stood up against the judging of others and the stoning of sinners to death. They love the fact that he renounced the seeking of revenge as in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and instead taught people to forgive others and to turn the other cheek.
Everything they love about Jesus is precisely due to the fact that Jesus renounced all the hideous things that had been associated with the God of Abraham.
So I'm offering them a way to leave Christianity and take Jesus with them.
Surely you're aware that Christians love the "have your cake and eat it too" ideal.
So I'm just offering them what they love the most.
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!
