Don't forget that the Romans wrote the Bible and they were inclined to make themselves the good guys. It's ridiculous to think that Pontius Pilate was somehow forced by Jews to crucify Jesus against his will. In reality the Romans didn't care about Jesus' religion, there were hundreds to thousands of different religions in the Empire at that time, but Jesus was a threat to the state because he taught that he would create God's kingdom on Earth and be King, a direct threat to rebel against his Roman rulers. So the Romans dealt with him like they did with all other threats to the state, made an example of him and crucified him.
