too oversimplified. For example, it doesn't take into account that in many regions of the world,
followers of none of these five religions constitute a majority of the population.
For example, only 8% of Chinese are Buddhist, Shintoists outnumber Buddhists in Japan and
Atheists/Agnostics outnumber religious people in various countries.

PROOF THAT JESUS CHRIST REALLY EXISTS!!!

Existed, yes (well, probably). As for "exists," in present tense, it would have to be marked as
something other than "DEATH of Jesus."
But in either case, this is just an explanatory aid somebody drew up, the proof for anything it
says is external to the work, not the work itself.
...Oh, wait.

It's already starting to happen. People aren't denouncing their faith, but they are turning their
backs on religious institutions who no longer serve any purpose.

Sorry, but even ignoring the retarded religious folklore and hoaxes, there's exactly ZERO
evidence for a "historical Jesus". So-called "theological historians" are simply and fallaciously
retrofitting their faith into actual history.

Don't be ignorant, his life is listed in most college history textbooks and he plays a big role

Not evidence.

No, folktales ABOUT him play a big role.
Please provide one scrap of evidence or STFU.

In case I wasn't clear, the earliest mention of Jesus mostly consist of the Gospels themselves.
The earliest of which was written nearly a century after his supposed death.
There is no actual evidence that such a person existed. He is either entirely fictional or based
on rumor, likely rumors about several real people.
Every piece of CONTEMPORARY evidence presented has turned out to be a blatant fraud or a logical
fallacy.

I wonder what requires the greater leap of faith, that some dude named Jesus happened to found a
religion or some other dude not named Jesus happened to form the said religion.

If he was real, he wouldn't have even gone by the name Jesus during his life. That name was
attributed to him MUCH later.

Of course Jesus existed, that name was very popular at the time in that area. And yes Jesus
exists; he is Hispanic and we hang out and play video games.

Jesus, or whatever you prefer to call him, wasn't technically the founder, because the most
important factor in christianity is the belief that when he died, he made the rituals of
sacrifice practiced by jews unnecessary.
So really, you couldn't be a christian until after he was crucified.

Shit needs to include the Incas and the Aztecs who had huge wars in their big-ass civilizations.
Always forgettin' about the poor empires of the Americas.
