Eh, they’re just as bad as the creationists when it comes to evidence and their arguments.

Was there a man named Jesus who Christianity is based on? Yes, historical evidence seems to back that up.

Was he the Son of “God”, imbued with miraculous powers? Eh, not so much.

Eh? Doubting Jesus’s existence, given the paucity of solid evidence is a perfectly rational thing to do, not on any level comparable with creationism.

Personally, I think there probably was a real life character upon whom Jesus was based. I think the lack of contemporary evidence from non-christian sources speaks more to the fact that he just wasn’t big news at the time.
