From what I understand, Jesus was not just a creation of the authors of the New Testament. There was also a man of flesh and blood who was the origin of the legends. He was a Jewish preacher who was convinced that God would crush the forces of evil and that the cosmic battle had already begun.
But the forces of darkness became annoyed at him and sentenced him to death. Moreover, they appropriated Christianity, changed it to suit their purposes, and made it their religion. Ever since then, have war-mad emperors, kings, and presidents called themselves Christians. The dark forces are extremely cunning.
No sensible folks can call themselves communists today, after all the horrors that have taken place in the name of communism, but how come Christians still can call themselves Christians without being ashamed? Christianity also has a terrible history: the Crusades, the Inquisition Courts, the Witch hunts, the support for worldly powers and their endless wars, the oppression of women and children... Every Sunday, the slave drivers in the American South went to church and sang hymns: "Si-i-lent night, Ho-o-ly night."

Jesus was misunderstood and continues to be... all along.
His spiritual teaching was completely misinterpreted, and used against his teaching. A kind of super gaslighting has been going on for centuries.
