Well done. The hard historical fact is that Jesus of Narareth was a real person, and the gospels are based on his life as seen by his disciples. The critical text of the New testament that we use today is based upon some 25000 complete and partial manuscripts from the Imperial period. No other ancient text has anywhere that many substantiations.

Afirming these things does not mean that what Christians believe about Jesus must be true. But it is certain that these beliefs are not on the same par as say, the Romans' worship of Jupiter. Like Judaism and islam, Christianity is a historical religion. Dismissing it as based upon fake history is simply fake,
