Until someone comes up with a good theory on why his entire life would be a hoax, this conjecture is silly. As an atheist I have no doubt that Jesus did exist (as I've stated before), and its very hard to imagine that a new religion with such power would be started on a hoax.
Jew 1 'Hey lets make up a new religion!'
Jew 2 'Cool!'
Jew 1 'Yea we will go all over the place and make up stories anyone could verify if they tried but we will assume they won't and then we can be put to death for it by the roman empire!'
Jew 2 'Totally awesome, I've always wanted to die for a hoax!'
Jew 1 'Yea it will be great.'
The point being you don’t need to believe in Jesus’s divinity to believe in Jesus. Someone started this in motion, someone effected people in such a way they were willing to die for it, someone managed to make his name as close to immortal as any. This doesn’t make him the son of god, but its going to take some real splaining to make him into a hoax.
