For if Christ is the most written about person of that era with the most period manuscripts verifying his existance and deeds, and all that is written is still not enough. This means everyone else who isn't better documented with period writtings have absolutly no hope of being confirmed as being real either, which is everyone elses in that time period.
I submit to you that "There was a man called Jesus," and "There was a magical god-avatar called Jesus," are two different claims, and that the documentation you have for the man only supports the former claim. If you wish to believe it supports the latter one, then documentation would also be sufficient for all those other religions you don't think are true.
I am good with that so long as in the end we support the majority of what was written, and not focous in on the obscure.
