And i doubt it ever did.

Would you rather believe Hitler was a figment of the worlds imagination and that Auschwitz never existed?

I thought not, lets not get this muddled up - there is a clear distinction between what can be proven as actual factual history and that of which is built from myth and ledged, for example, we know that the Aztecs and the Mayas existed, we know this from evidence i.e. Deep underground excavations and physical evidence of civilisation - however, there is little evidence to support the existence of Quetzalquatle (the ancient serpent God whom the indigenous people of that region of the world believed in).

So saying believing in the healer of the blind and the man whom walked on water would be as sensible (historicaly speaking) as saying I whom believe in modern history also believe in the great tinman of the african jungle.
If I remember correctly, Roman documents to attest to the crucifixion of J.C. It has been theorized however, that Jesus never actually died on the cross. In the bible it says Mary Magdalen (I believe) walked over to Jesus and placed a cloth to his head. Something to that extent. Some believe the rag may have been soaked in a substance in order to make Jesus lose consciousness and appear dead. Later, when he was taken off the cross, they brought him to the tomb and placed the Shroud of Turin (lathered in healing agents) over his unconscious body. He than regained consciousness (hence the resurection) and lived a life in hiding.

This is only a theory I saw on the history channel as best as I can remember it. It is safe to say, Jesus was crucified on the cross, the Romans thought they crucified Jesus on the cross but it was an impostor, or Jesus survived the crucifixion.

As for everything else, I agree.
