I imagine that would be of more concern to theists, whose beliefs hinge on the divinity of Jesus, than atheists.

The Historical Jesus actually undermined the Christian viewpoint of him; because once you read into the historicity of Jesus; he really was quite insignificant, and not as grand as Christians believe him to be.

Either way - it's not so much a ''concern to Theists'' as it is a concern to Historians. You can be an Atheist Historian who still takes interest in the historical world; Historian is a profession.
