A simple challenge for atheists

[SteveII]

4 gospels, acts, the letters of John, Paul, Peter and James. The fact is quite clear the first Christians--the ones who were present--believed these events happened (often not in their personal best interest) is additional evidence. Prophecies also exist to support the context and claims.

Again, you might not think highly of the evidence, but you cannot say there is none.

Those are not eyewitness accounts, they are hearsay (at best). Hearsay is not evidence. Try again.

There are no non-religious accounts of the alleged events. This absence of evidence that one would expect to be there is pretty damning.

Um, hearsay is certainly evidence. The absence of evidence is not evidence. Would the letters of John, Peter and James by hearsay? You also need a reasonably explanation why the first Christians acted on the belief that Jesus rose from the dead.
