What if Jesus had failed?

You seem determined to reject anything that seems even slightly beyond the everyday mundane. It's reactions like this that lead me to think that atheism is like some kind of dogmatic/fundamentalist religion.

A consistent misrepresentation of our position. We reject nothing, in principle, but we also accept nothing until there is enough solid evidence to justify that acceptance. Most of the rejection of religious claims comes from thousands of years of those claims being made with zero substantiation of them having any basis in reality. You might call it "The Boy Who Cried Jesus (for 2,000 years and counting)".
