I haven't read the book - thanks for your detailed review of his works strong and weak points.
I didn't have to read the book. I am basing it not only off of the information in the OP but also this piece right here:

Atwill's credentials are not good and when even fellow Jesus mythicists are saying his material is no good, odds are his work is no good.
