None of it happened. The Gospels show up 70 years after the supposed events and are riddeled with contradictions, the only contemporary records have been discovered to have been forgeries by Christian monks, the NT is wrong about many facets of Judeo-Roman society, and it's inconsistent with the archaeology.

A big trend during the 1st century BC was mystery cults (esoteric cults where you have a personal relationship with a specific God), and "messiahs" were popping up in Judea routinely.

Jesus and the Bible story are likely an amalgam of elements from these self-proclaimed messiahs, and the teachings of the mystery cults. Jesus is a composite of many real and mythical things, like you find in all folklore, but the story and the people are as real and historic as the peanut cartoons (which are tenuously based on the cartoonist's childhood).

If you want to be more cynical, it may have been a Roman attempt to subvert Judaism. Superpowers use propaganda all the time, and Christianity is just Romanised Judaism. Paul basically tells Christians to submit to Caesar and bend over backwards to their Roman overlords.

Is not Jesus born on summer or somewhat?

There are four accounts of the Nativity (all of which wildly contradictory and completely different), and in Luke it says "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.".

Many say shepherds don't live outside and the sheep don't have much to graze on in the winter. It sounds like spring-summer rather than deepest, darkest winter.

Christmas is on December 25th because that's when the Romans had their biggest festival.

Everything about Christianity was thought up by the Roman church afterwards. The new Testament was written 70 years after what happened. That would be like me writing a story set in the 1930s as if it were history.

Islam is just as bad. It's thought that what actually happened is that an Arab general in North-Western Arabia just got really big and powerful and drop-kicked the terminally ill and exhausted Roman and Persian Empires. The Arabs ruled by uniting the Jews, Christians and Persians against the Romans, and the Arabs built colonies in the conquered territories.

Then 60 years later, the Qur'an pops up, and you have all these references to Muhammad and Mecca and a new religion. There Arabs ruled for 60 years before there is a single reference to these things. It's entirely possible that, again, the Qur'an story is a folklorish mish-mash thrown together generations after the fact. Both Islam and Christianity were entirely oral for the major part of a century before a word was written.

Nigger, if you're gonna be anti-theistic, at least do it right. We know from historical texts that Muhammed (used to be a trader) and his buddies existed, invented a myth, got filthy rich by plundering trade routes (which he used to be a part of), expanded their rule and eventually took over the Arabian Peninsula, and made up shit as they went along to justify their conquests which like 30 years later (muhammed was dead by then) compiled into a book called the Quran. They were literally traders turned into bandits turned into conquerors.
Stop spouting misinformation like you know jack shit, you make other anti-theists look bad.

This. Muhammad was a real man; his fairy tales are not.

But Jesus' are.
