rather than actually believe the story. Then again, there are many that believe the story but do not follow the teachings.
In my studies I have found that many of the teachings I admire are not unique to christianity and most predate the supposed birth of Jesus. Same with the mythological concepts.
Myths, fables, parables, and even fairy tales are meant to frame concepts such as morality, justice, etc.. in understandable terms to a diverse audience.
Questioning whether Jesus existed has been common since the first century/early second. It seems more prominent now only because it is no longer illegal or subject to death to question.
