Proof wasn't part of the original question/charge, and Christianity admittedly relies on some amount of faith.
However, I can note that we know much more about the originators of Christianity than we do of Zeus. Did Homer consider himself a theologian, or prophet, or a fiction writer. We really don't know, and we know less still about those who started those accounts before him. Since one criterion for judging claims is the intent of the originators of the claims, Christianity is better supported.
He tells us to believe, gives us no proof and then sends us to hell for disbeliefs and then says that he is love.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
