I'm not anti-Jesus. As a matter of fact I admire his daring, his deviation from the norm for his time and his pointed, (at least once, violent) opposition to the status quo as practiced by his co-religionists. I also marvel that his full acceptance of diversity, difference and all genders made it through all the many revisions and cullings that mostly ended at Nicea but still carry on today. I am continually moved by tales of his career that illustrate the belief that love is the way. But Christianity is a completely different thing. The religions based on Jesus' life have about as much to do with his life as 'Britannia' has to do with British history. (Britannia is a full on fantasy that makes Druids self-mutilators, Romans cannibals and everyone else costumed in idiocy.) Christianity is a construct that was first codified for strictly political reasons; to consolidate the power of Constantine. The thought was to bind the diverse populations into a coherent whole based on shared belief. That was why many gospels were left out of the bible we see today and why others were written and included to provide the founding mythology. Still somehow Jesus, at least the sense of him as a remarkable person, is still left. His principles, without the 'magic', are worth following for anyone. I know many atheists who do.
