Like I said on the Jesus thread about his existance. I can believe that a man who founded christianity named Jesus Christ was alive at the time and place, even if they found his remains, it'd be a monumental discovery because his life affected billions of lives over the millenia.
But as far as what this means to me as an atheist, I think if this were actually John the Baptist's remains, I think it's an important discovery. I don't think it means anything as far as religion in any actual religious sense. It doesn't proove anything in the bible or disprove anything we know about anything except that we know a man we know of actually exists whereas we weren't sure before.
And that is important because the man would be very important if he actually exists.
