[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richard Cevantis Carrier (born December 1, 1969) is an American historian, atheist activist, author, public speaker and blogger.

His recent books arguing against the historicity of Jesus have established him as a leading supporter of the fringe[4] Christ myth theory,[5] which claims that neither the historical Jesus nor the biblical Jesus existed. Carrier asserts that in the context of his Bayesian methodology,[i] the ahistoricity of Jesus[ii] and his origin as a mythical deity are "true" (i.e. the "most probable" Bayesian conclusion),[6] arguing that the probability of Jesus' existence is somewhere in the range of 1/3 to 1/12000, depending on the estimates used for the computation.[7] Nearly all contemporary scholars of ancient history[8] and biblical scholarship have maintained that a historical Jesus did indeed exist.[9][10]

Richard Carrier’s wiki page states that NEARLY ALL CONTEMPORARY SCHOLARS OF ANCIENT HISTORY maintain a historical Jesus existed. Why is that on his page?[/quote]

What % of the “contemporary scholars of ancient history” are Christians? What % of those are the hard-core evangelical types?
