The question that shatters faith, forever.

Did Socrates walk on water, turn water into wine, and come back from the fucking dead?

This is a false dichotomy. There are no mythological elements to the life of Socrates.... as opposed to the bullshit "god" of the xtians.

Also, Plato's philosophy doesn't completely fall apart if Socrates didn't exist. The thoughts are still logically coherent even in their own right.

On the other hand, the Christian cosmology is completely destroyed if Jesus did not exists. At least in terms of the basis of the religion being predicated up the divinity and sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of mankind. Whether the moral teachings stand on their own is another matter altogether. I believe they do not but that is another discussion.
