"Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically"
Now that's Wikipedia so it's not always a guaranteed fact but on a person as famous as Jesus I doubt what I'm reading has been edited by someone looking to spread misinformation. Wikipedia is usually good with avoiding that.
These “modern scholars” have reached this conclusion, in spite of the complete lack of factual evidence....
