There are many things that go against the case of an historical Jesus in my opinion. I see no problem with creating Christ out of previous religions. It seems that the character of Christ was created mostly out of the gnostic writings and Judaism. They make Christ the fulfillment of the awaited messiah that is so often prophesied about in the O.T. The entire life and story of Christ is plagiarized from the O.T. and the N.T. often refers to text from the old out of context and then states on several occasions that Christ has fulfilled the prophecy etc. etc.
Not to mention all the myths from which several of the elements of the Christ story have been plagiarized. There are many pre-christian myths that have the same theme:born of a virgin, performed miracles, was executed, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven. A look into other ancient myths will prove my case just fine.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
