The "success" of christianity is due mostly to european colonization not jesus. Other religions teach love, humility, blah blah blah. That has nothing to do with Christianity's lies and fabrications, it's really nothing more than a smoke screen for its real motives.
The early church destroyed the writings of critics and others who opposed christianity. This known partly because of the refutations given by early apologists such as Origen, Clement, etc.
Josephus was a Jew who never converted to christianity so he obviously didn't believe jesus was the "Christ". During Josephus's time there were no tribes of christians. Not only that if jesus was as an important figure as claimed Josephus would've wrote about him, he never even quotes him.
Tacitus was confused about not only who was persecuted by the Romans but his writings also used terminology not used during his time, hint more forgery.
Another problem is no contemporary writers of Jesus's era make mention of him. It's hard to debate what he taught if it can't be proven that he actually lived. Maybe I should pull my head out of the sand.
