Alright but answer the question. Why werent the roman and greek gods real? People believed them to be just as real at the time. How did they came to be? Why are the current iterations of a single God any different?


So greek and roman gods probably aren't real. How does that prove the christian god isn't real?


Why should it? How is it different from the others?


One is followed Romans and the Greeks. 

The other is followed by Christians who are from almost all parts of the world.

Christianity really became a major religion when it was adopted by Ancient Rome. From there, it spread across Europe. As Rome fell and the former colonies became independent, they stayed Christian, because they couldn't really remember any other system of belief. So, as Europe colonised the rest of the world, the same happened to the people of North and South America and of Africa. Did the Native Americans and Aztecs believe in a Christian god? Do the African tribal religions revere Jesus? Not at all.

Really, the only other place where Jesus features is in Islam, which was largely just an extension of Christianity and Judaism anyway.
