I really think calling it 'myth' isn't appropriate. Myth implies that none of it is real and just all 100% delusional or however you want to describe it, but I really think there's some 'tangible' elements of philosophy that get missed at first glance. This is because we don't have the right take on the Gospels and keep thinking it's all literal history (hence the myth label possibly). I strongly believe that these people were deep thinkers and not suspect to fooling themselves that there was a real person Jesus. Clearly that's the case now though..
