Some other historical figures were revered as gods, Egyptain Pharaohs and Roman Emperors for instance, it doesn't mean they were really were divine or supernatural. Jesus is slightly different in that he was a carpenter rather than a ruler of an empire and he has a following in the billions but there is a precedent for this in human history. Jesus could quite easily have existed as a plain boring man, perhaps he genuinely believed he had miraculous or supernatural powers.
