It doesn't really matter, for the purposes of this debate, whether Jesus existed or not. He can be, if you want, just a metaphor for transmission of India thought to Palestine around the 1st century. The Gospels exist and the NT exists and they are clearly products of the era in question. But even taken on those terms, the idea that early Christianity is some form of Buddhist Judaism does not stand any scrutiny.
