Jesus was supposed to have lived and died during the reign of Tiberius. There were historians alive during that period, yet none thought to mention a man walking through their town healing the sick and raising the dead. I don't know about you, but I might find that noteworthy.
What we do have are demigod who "lived" before jesus, performed many of the same magic tricks, and died in much the same manner. We have an organization that ruled Europe for 1500 years and did everything in their power to make sure jesus survived the ages. It's a scam, forged and blatantly stolen from the other superheroes of the period and packaged for mass production. Jesus fits a very old mold and if the son of a Jewish carpenters named Jesus actually existed we know nothing about him.

"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
