I’d just like to add that academically no one disputes his existence. That’s a militant atheist talking point.
While there may well have been a Jesus of Nazareth which inspired the stories of the Bible... "Jesus" is a complete fabrication constructed over centuries based on fanfiction written at least a lifetime after the man who might've inspired such fiction was dead.
Jesus the undead cleric demigod never existed in the same way Mithras never existed. It's just a bronze age myth.
Okay, I simply said he historically existed.
