Not to disagree too strongly, but my preference is to feel that this sort of thinking gives undue importance to the man himself.

Even if he did exist, he did not accomplish much in his lifetime.

In contrast, regardless of whether he really existed or not, the much more serious damage was caused 50-100 years later, by those who took his (real or supposed) teachings and made a whole new religion out of it. THAT'S what "unleashed all kinds of evil into the world for us Jews", IMHO.
