It wasn't a question but a statement Cymraeg
I think you missed the basics of it
The bible is made up of gospels and letters ( epistles) written over many years accumulated into one book, by many different authors
I certainly understand that you can deny Christ existed, the reality is that nobody educated in a&ne history would do the same
But whatever you want, I am happy you choose what you think is correct

All religions come from the stars, and many of them gave very concrete proof of the constellation they came from (Orion, for example) by leaving behind structures pointed at certain stars or mapping parts of the sky. The Pyramids are arranged according to Orion's belt, etc.
Christ existed
Jesus came to be called "Jesus Christ", meaning "Jesus the Christós" (i.e. Jesus, the anointed; or "Jesus, the Messiah" by his followers) after his death and believed resurrection. Before, Jesus was usually referred to as "Jesus of Nazareth" or "Jesus son of Joseph".

In fact, even some Hindu interpretations respect the Prophet Jesus. Some scholars equate him to being an avatar of one of their deities; some say he may have spent his childhood in India because of the similarities of his teachings; and others even equate his life with Krishna! Though it's worth noting that "Hinduism" is far more vast/open than many other religions, to the point that nearly anything can fit into it, depending on the scholar.

No Cymraeg I didn't read your citation
I can get wackos who have degrees and doctorates from anywhere you want from the net to say anything I want to justify
Obviously you can as well
I am not here to change your mind
Say what you want, believe what you want
If you want the truth, don't listen to all those you want to believe, those who back up your beliefs
Go study the truth and then make a decisson on what both sides have heard
Even atheists high priest Dawkins accepts Jesus existed, yet you and Hitchens maybe not
Yet the more I look at the evidence—and I’m by no means an expert—the more dubious I become about the evidence for a historical Jesus-person. Yes, one may have existed, but where is the evidence?

It's not even certain that there was a man called Jesus who founded what became the Christian church. The historicity of Jesus is still something of controversial issue.

That reminds me of how Christ said "I go now now to sheep not of this fold"
And the Native American account of a visit from someone they call chezooz...
Unsure of the spelling

Jesus was born a Jew and died a Jew. I don't recall history showing that he started "Christianity". Christianity was someone else's concoction.
It's like identity theft - they took Jesus' identity and philosophy and created something he never endorsed. The guy never intended to start a new religion and he never renounced Judaism.

This is the same Sitchin that said Nibiru existed and had a 3600 year elliptical orbit that would make it come close to or collide with us? All based on his mis-interpretation of Mesopotamian iconography and symbolism?
You mean THAT Sitchin?

Well, to be fair we just don't know what the early Christian church - the church led by James - was like. I suspect that it was a Jewish sect. Why wouldn't it be? After the fall of Jerusalem James and the other leaders vanish from history, very likely slaughtered in the sack. There is some suspicion that that allowed Paul to come in and change things.
