Well, yeah… Jesus was super based. But then Constantine saw the writing on the wall, and rebranded the Roman belief system with a Jesus themed naming scheme before his armies started to understand the full scope of Jesus’s teachings, which were a radical third path way of life that made followers useless to Rome and impossible to control
And remember how Rome collapsed, then the church turned into a soft empire for like a thousand years? Remember how they stood above the kings of Europe, dictating who could rule what, in what one might call an empire? Maybe something like the holy Roman empire?
Anyways, I could rant about this for ages, but tldr: Jesus was based, his name was stolen to create a new Roman religion that is in most ways the exact opposite of what he preached
