Suppose you omit George Washington. Would a child be more likely to view him as (a) important to the founding of the United States ; or (b) unimportant to the founding of the United States?

But that isn't what Christians believe about him. They believe that he was (a) god and that he performed supernatural acts, including coming to life again after dying. We cannot reproduce his "work" or verify the claims of what he did. If we cannot verify that he existed and that he was who the Bible says he was, the claims about him are nothing more than fantasy.
So we're supposed to leave out Jesus altogether because he claimed to be something more than a philosopher? Would you exclude Augustus Caesar? He claimed to be a god, too.
