But prove nothing except that the Christian religion existed around these times, it doesn't prove there was a Christ as those religions could well have been Gnostic. .

And one religion's paranoia about another's claims' proves the latter correct? Get real!

How? Be specific.

Atheists have claimed over the last several hundred years that Jesus Christ was a mythical super-hero invented by the Gospel records many decades after his death. Now we are finding caves where Jesus did have followers in 33 a.d. Long before any Gospel account.
Even if there were a literal Jesus Christ it is not proof of the essential Christian claims so no, the idea of atheism is absolutely unaffected by your witterings, however I dispute your claim that these churches are as claimed and that it even "proves" a literal Jesus Christ.

Repeating yourself doesn't make it any more valid, rather implies that your argument is weak.

I've yet to see evidence of that claim.

Do I care? You haven't even demonstrated he is a Muslim yet.

I'm forced to wonder why theists don't use their brains more?

To quote Eddie Izzard, "Hod-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, hod-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, hod-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh ... nope!

In your head, sure!

And you the lack of them in support of your claim
