EDIT: I think Jesus existed, but was nothing like as portrayed in the NT. He was an anti-Roman acitvist, and the Romans were brutal with such people.
Your claim that Jesus was an anti-Roman activist is unsubstantiated--modern fiction. There is no mention of any character called Jesus of Nazareth or an anti-Roman activist named Jesus of Nazareth in any writing attributed to contemporary writers.
It is simply absurd to suggest that what you imagine about your Jesus is true without a shred of historical evidence.
Jesus of Nazareth was not an anti-Roman activist in ancient manuscripts.
Jesus of Nazareth is a fiction character with zero history in all manuscripts.
