I've never heard of a major religion being built around all those other normal people around at that time.

Do you think he was magic then?
He could have been normal at the time, and it was only a graduation of exaggerations built up over time that lead us to believe he was more than normal.
How do we know that Jesus wasn't just a made up character to reinforce the existence of God?
The significant effect is just time and the build up.
A child is born into the world everyday. and have been for the last 2 thousand years. each and everyone of them could if taught be part of the such significant effect on people that makes him still important to millions or so. long after his death.
