Further, since Christianity was beforehand founded on the Gospels, one would not accept the deity of Jesus if these gospels are not accepted as authentic.
It is evident that not recognizing there is a Supreme Being over humans implies that Jesus was basically a common being. The case of establishing Christianity as the true religion –or even the only true one– requires arguments of proof of the existence of God Himself. Dawkins, a scientist and atheist, reports in one of his books a famous quote of one of the greatest rulers, the French monarch Napoleon Bonaparte, who said once: “Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Spaniard statesman, philosopher, advocate and a man of letters of the 5th century, also declared that “religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” Others would choose to be simply skeptical about the situation. Some believe that religious sect is just a matter of maintaining society at a certain level of stability or instability depending on the objective of higher social category. In fact, the whole point is that there is no such thing as a god, a creator or superior being. A number of atheists would argue that religion is most likely a creation of society. One of the most significant questions a Christian apologist would have to face at least in a lifetime career is in regards of the trueness of religion.
