Whether we have physical evidence that Christ existed as the Gospels claim is irrelevant. What's important is that the incarnation of logos was the foundation upon which Western culture was built, even if most people today take it for granted.
The stories of the Old Testament were all about the rise and fall of the State. The overall ideal was with that by making the right laws, we could bring about social utopia via the perfect State.
The birth of Christ and his ministry as told by the Gospels in the NT was a declaration that the State was not salivation.
The individual who acts upon the Truth is salvation
Christianity was not a religion that later became corrupted. The corruption began with institutionalization of Christianity as the State religion of Rome.
The Church of Rome gave rise to the first corporations, known as Samaritan corporations as well as the first NGO institutions.
Institutions have always worn the mask of care and presumed to do better for humans what humans can do for themselves. Institutional authority was served by making what was easy seem hard, by subordinating the laity to the priesthood.
It is becoming clear that the institutions of science today no more represent the actions of noble scientists than did the Roman Church represent the noble teachings of Christ.
The corruption has always been intrinsic to the institution, not the truthful individuals who changed the world.
The fact that we are now witnessing the rapid failure of institutions and a resurrection of the spirit of Truth upon the earth is further evidence that “the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
