Roman historian Suetonius (c. 69 after 122 AD) mentions Christians and Christus in Lives of the 12 Caesars in connection with the burning of Rome under Nero, 64 AD. He is certainly not a Christian or a sympathizer, and is somewhat dismissive of Christianity. Although he is a secondary source, he had the accounts of numerous people who lived through the events, and appears to treat the existence of "Christus", and the faith of His followers as a simple matter of fact.

First, hard to envision such a movement based on an individual stemming from his time period, if he didn’t exist. Next, they lost me as soon as they cited “Historians and bloggers”.
