Jesus was not a real person, so where did this Jesus myth come from? Was it based on a single other faith? Was it a combination of other faiths? Or was it completely invented out of nothing?

Where did the Jesus myth come from?

All of the above (and more).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Ergo god.

Or was it completely invented out of nothing? You have just made a positive claim.IE "Jesus was not a real person". That attracts the burden of proof;let's see yours. My position; I'm agnostic about the existence of an historical Jesus. I think it's possible, even likely he existed and began a small,orthodox Jewish sect. However, I also think the Jesus of the New Testament is almost certainly myth. Christianity as it is today was invented more by Saul of Tarsus* than any other person. The religion contains NO new ideas,moral code or theology. Of course some basic ideas were lifted from the Torah,including an emasculated version of Mosaic Law. Other ideas,such as the resurrecting god and hell are found in other religions, so who knows from which ones they were taken,or indeed if they were invented independently? *reference: "Paul; The Mind Of An Apostle" A N Wilson.

The null hypothesis isn't exactly a position of weakness Pad. If somebody wants a Jesus (of any stripe) they need to make that happen.
