Evidence that Jesus was real?

[Paraselene]

I was perusing Google news and I came across this article. The main point of my posting this is not the premise of the article itself, but rather part of what was written in the article.

Attacks on Christianity have come from many directions. Some people assert that Christianity is based on a mythological or legendary figure: Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus the anointed one, Jesus Christ. The historical Jesus Christ has more evidence for His existence than many other figures from the ancient world whose existence we take for granted. What we know of Socrates we learn from the writings of one disciple, Plato, and from a play by Aristophanes. Yet the evidence is strong that there really was an Athenian philosopher names Socrates, almost as strong as that there was a Jesus Christ.
