At this point its pretty much universally agreed Jesus was a real person who lived. Theres more than enough evidence of this.

And yes he is pretty much without a doubt the most influential

By whom? Bible scholars?

That's called confirmation bias. Fact remains - 0 contemporary evidence.

"Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed,^[1][2][3][4] and although there is little agreement on the historicity of gospel narratives and their theological assertions of his divinity,^[5][6][7][8] biblical scholars andclassical historians regard theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted."

From my experience, the only people who say that Jesus did not exist are ignorant Atheists who refuse to accept that truth.  Not saying that that's you, just saying that the majority of Atheists i've encountered online, appear to be ignorant on that topic.
