The fact remains that there is no actual evidence for the existence of the guy so ultimately it's all speculative.

There's not much actual evidence for a lot of people of the period (e.g., Pontius Pilate) outside of historical writings. That's pretty ludicrous way to rationalize a petty belief.

The standard for judging a person as historical as opposed to mythical is that there multiple independent contemporary sources. Neither of which exist for Jesus so saying he definitely existed is rationalizing a petty belief.

We have physical evidence for him and the claim is small.
