Khans existence is pretty definitive. Jesus is described at best by hearsay, and much of it vastly unreliable and fantastical.

Are you seriously taking the position that Jesus didn't exist as a historical figure?

That's a view that seems to be held only by an extreme minority of historians. Extreme in size and ideology.

No. Just the position that the evidence for his existence is extremely thin, and nowhere near as strong as for Khan. Plus, the reports of Ghengis describe Just A Guy. The reports for Jesus describe Magical Super Powers. It is never unwise to be highly skeptical of reports of Magical Super Powers.
