As a teacher I am rather worried at this blurring of facts with fiction..  |
It's not surprising, unfortunately. Jesus is inextricably tied up with a religion, and because most families don't do any religious observance at all any more, people tend to just categorise the religion as irrelevant and its components and characters as imaginary.
I don't think the school curriculum has placed much emphasis on the historicity of Jesus in the same way that it does for Mohammed or Siddhartha Gautama because previously Jesus actual historical existence was a 'given'.
