That and Jesus is an alleged person at best. The scholarly work on the human Jesus is ridiculously biased.

I find it very hard to believe that Jesus never existed. That he's the son of god is debatable - but I thought his existence has been pretty concretely proven time and time again.

Yes. There was definitely a human named Jesus who “was baptized by John the Baptist and crucified by order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate.”

Several prophets (likely more than one with the then common name Jesus) had a following in Roman-occupied Palestine. The bible figure is likely an exaggerated amalgamation.
