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.
Very few people still believe if any that the emperors and pharaohs were supernatural. I think we can pick and choose who we look at in more detail. Especially when they continue to impact the world in such a way. It at least makes them a person of interest to look into in more detail.
If somebody is telling people that we should all worship some bloke from 2000 years ago they should at least be able to demonstrate reliably that they existed in the first place.
