Is a resurrected Jesus actually necessary to explain the existence of Christianity? When presenting the case that Jesus rose from the dead, the Christian will often point to a set of historical facts which generally boil down to… Jesus was crucified, people claimed he rose from the dead, and now the church exists. 

Now would an actual resurrection of Jesus explain these facts? I suppose. But a supernatural explanation can be used to explain anything. The better question is... is there a non-miraculous explanation for the existence and history of Christianity? Please indulge me for a minute and allow me to lay out one possible scenario…
