@factsoverfear9771 That's the thing, though: They don't.
Tacitus, who is often used as a reference here, is writing about Christians as part of his history of the great fire in Rome during the rule of Nero. Now, aside of a few inaccuracies concerning Nero who he obviously didn't really like, he writes about how Christians are blamed for it, and how these Christians worship Christ as their saviour, who was someone who was crucified during the rule of Pilate in Galilea.
What this doesn't say, though, is whether this Christ existed at all. What Tacitus says is that they worship that person. Well, the Egyptians worshipped Ra. Does someone writing about that make Ra real now?
Tacitus does not claim that this Christ even existed, he doesn't even claim that he believes that any of this is real. Only that there are people who think it is.
And people who think some religious person is their saviour, well, there has never been a shortage of that. Ask the average cult member.
