Religions call it proselytizing, but it's selling something, however you look at it.

Jesus himself didn't have a marketing team, but some of the people since that time have worked hard to bolster him.

What do you think?

It’s not called “marketing Jesus”, OP. It’s called the Great Commission of Mathew 28:18-20. Read and educate yourself. There’s a wiki on it

Christians may call it the great commission but others call it marketing Jesus - which is what it is.

Not to the 2.6 billion Christians in the world. You can’t have intelligent conversation about the subject without discussing the great commission, which apparent no one here is educated enough to understand.

Are you the poster who calls people ignorant on line for disagreeing with them?

Correct - the Christians of the world think the great commission is a great thing, but the rest of the people call it marketing Jesus. It's not a matter of not being educated enough to understand it. It's a matter of not being indoctrinated to believe it, which pp obviously has difficulty understanding - plus pp is obviously indoctrinated.

People who I know who aren’t Christians don’t think about Jesus or Christianity They have their own lives with jobs, loved ones, hobbies, family, etc.

I don't think about Christianity either, when Christians aren't screwing around with the world, which is hardly ever, these days.

People can market Jesus to their heart's content; it's their religious freedom. It's a bonus when they are practicing what they are preaching.

What I can't ever be ok with is profiting off of Jesus, or any religion for that matter. There's a difference between the two and the list of people who were described by OP seems to lean more towards profiting. And we know how Jesus felt about the money lenders in the temple...
