AND against the principles of all major religions.
So, according to your own real beliefs, you are going to burn in hell for that.
But don't worry. You are also wrong about that.

Actually, we have yet to find any contemporary writings about Jesus. Not a single primary source exists as far as we know. If you've not really studied history, that means that nobody who supposedly knew Jesus ever wrote about him (or if they did, the writings have never been found) All we have is hearsay; writings by people who heard from someone who heard that someone heard of someone... Chinese whispers basically. So whether he existed or not, there is no credible evidence to prove it.
I was told in RE at school about there being all this historical evidence for Jesus... Then one day I mentioned it online and someone said to me "Look for it. You'll be amazed at what you don't find." and they were quite correct. So for now I am inclined to believe he is fictional, unless we do find something more reliable to suggest otherwise.
I don't get all that fuss about the lack of evidence for Jesus existence. What if he did? Lots of people existed at the time. What difference does one more man?
The real argument is about whether one of the men that existed actually had superpowers, came back from the dead and was one and the same with whoever created the universe. THAT's a claim that needs some real evidence. I couldn't care less if a man named Jesus actually existed two thousand years ago, or even if he thought he was such deity. Lots of people did.
