Jesus is the only founder of a religion who resurrected from the dead.

Jesus is the only one who had reliable witnesses numbering the the thousands many of them once hostile witnesses...

Especially among the religious scholars and lawyers of the day
as well as Roman Army officers..

No other has had such documentation...truth is established/ascertained by reliable witnesses..

One cannot honestly make an equivilancy claim against Jesus of Nazareth with the obvious false gods (who have no such witnesses) you mention

imo

Show me where in any historical documentation-besides the Bible or Christian texts- that speaks of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. I have never heard of any. I'm not saying that you are wrong, but I would like to know.

Name one from a source outside the Bible from the time of Jesus

And don't say Josephus, he was born in 37 AD, after Jesus was supposedly crucified or hanged so he wasn't an eyewitness
