I don't know how this is any of your business at the first place anyways.
If one is a historian, knows and understands the historical problems with the Gospels, how can they still claim faith?
Granted faith takes one beyond knowledge or fact, but if you look at the historical context from which Christianity arose, it's pretty obvious that it was built upon other religions that were present in that region at that time. It's a product of it's historical context. Whether one chooses to have faith in that is a personal thing, but one has to admit that historically it's problematic.
