    We’re not talking about the religion though, we’re talking about the man, Jesus. He existed, and the historically verifiable facts stand.

    The man wouldn’t even be historically notable if not for the religion. For all intents and purposes, he is the religion, the main cornerstone that set Christianity apart from Judaism.

    And I’m not sure what you mean by “the religion.”

    The subset of Christian denominations for which the statements make sense.

    Well it’s “just” a name. Obviously people going by that name are bonds to have existed. But arguing that “He” existed while at the same time saying most things about “Him” are false doesn’t really have any meaning. It’s not the same person as described in writing, when most descriptions don’t apply.
