    Jesus Christ was a real person. That’s not a religious belief, it’s a historical claim based on multiple independent authors writing about this person in the 1st century BC.

    Same with Siddartha Gautama and Muhammad. Atheism has no bearing on the existence of humans as religious figures, only on their divine nature.

    Religion is not fiction. It’s a man-made institution and system of beliefs and practices. It exists regardless if gods exist.
