Well there is a price to pay, and that once it enters culture, unless culture is changed, it remains outside, and seeing that he was anti-cultural regarding religion (anti-religion even) it remains a road to a non-objective God and therefore atheism.

I don’t think there is historical evidence for the resurrection. The resurrection is a faith first event. There are no primary sources for it, and it is not open to examination via any historiography. If you take texts of the resurrection, they are clearly mythic in structure and give a theological message for the early church community in each case, and each resurrection text justifies either authority or a liturgical practice or a cosmology of faith. For all that the resurrection is about faith, when the man Jesus died he died as anyone else does, and no cells and genes there were revived.
