According to many scholars, he is, historically, a real person. Even Bart Ehrman, a former bible-thumping minister well trained in many aspects of xtianity and its canon and now, basically, an atheist, believes in an historical Jesus! Now, all the stuff piled up on this historical figure is another thing altogether. So, in this one area, it would behoove all atheists to accept the "historical" Jesus. It is the devil in the details per the NT that is really the rough part to swallow, which I, of course, as an atheist, do not.
