I belong to no religion. However, my parents both belonged to different religions growing up. This is what I believe:
2000 years ago there was a man named Jesus Christ. This person was similar to Mother Theresa, and was kind and loving. The people, needing a "role model" looked up to this man. The rest many people know. After being crucified, the people were in such a state of grief that they started making stories about him, including the one where he rose from the dead.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW, I think it\'s surprising that people haven\'t made a huge deal about the Julian Calendar system. After all, it is based on Jesus Christ\'s death!
