This seems most likely to me. Jesus caused a stir. He got executed.
Why did He cause a stir and get executed ? Where do you get that information ?
A posthumous cult of personality was built around him that piggy-backed ancient Hebrew mythology.
So in a matter of less then a year, tens of thousands of Jews who revered the seventh day Sabbath for centuries, SUDDENLY decided the more important day was the first day of the week ?
That is because of a strong personality of someone executed ?
@thinkofone saidDon't answer the question if you don't want to.
When you tried to blame your nonsensical assertion on "KellyJay's inarticulacy", were you correct?
There are many religions and people have all manner of religious feelings and experiences.
So what ?
"Many" of something means there is no truth ?
"Many" people have different reasons for saying they are atheists.
Does "many" people with "many" feelings about atheism, also demand that atheism cannot be true?

@sonship saidI assume his teaching caused a stir. I assume he was executed for sedition. I could be wrong about these things. Something caused the cult of supernatural personality to get going 2,000 years ago. Muhammad caused a stir and that kick-started a "new" religion 1,400 or so years ago.

@thinkofone saidI think KellyJay's clumsy question was something you should address. Failing that, I think you should address the question in the OP.

KJ has nothing on you in the "clumsy" department. You can stop now. You've convinced me.

@sonship saidI have no credible reason to believe that Jesus rose from the dead nor that any Jews who had admired him and who had commemorated his death - in its immediate aftermath - believed that he had risen from the dead. Nor do I have any credible reason to believe stuff written by Paul and other people who didn't even meet Jesus.

Well the gospels say that on an occasion or two the people demanded that Jesus be their king. They tried to force Him to be a leader and He withdrew from their populace efforts.
Why did Jesus do that if He was trying to stir up a mass sedition?
