Didn't we go through this one with Psalm 23? It also doesn't prove the actuality of Jesus Christ because it as easily have been a Gnostic Christian church.

Except this Church predates all others. This proves 'Christ Worship' predates the Bible by a few decades. This puts to rest the theory that atheists claim. Jesus was a mythical invention in the bible.
No it doesn't for two reasons ... firstly it isn't what atheists claim because many atheists believe many things and many appear to believe there was a physical person at the root of the Christ myth but more to the point many of us (myself included) take the assumptive stance that there was no Jesus Christ until demonstrated otherwise; secondly it could have been a Gnostic Christian church and doesn't prove the literal physical existence of your messiah.

No you haven't god boy!

There were no direct eye-witnesses to the claimed existence of Jesus Christ.
