Perhaps we should be more like Jesus, not that Jesus was any actual person.
Personally, I have better role models who actually were historic and scientific people....but I can see how a person could do worse than the metaphor of Christ. There are plenty of atheists who would agree with that sentiment.
In the world of your role models, guiding principles, values, in this the world of meaning, lays the things most comparable to religious truths.
Not in the world of scientific and historic facts.
That world for all of us, not just the religious is supreme.
