Was Jesus an atheist? which can also be titled was Jesus a Humanist? is a talk around Jesus and how his teachings can be interpreted to show that he was infact non-religious.

Premise

Jesus wasn't a Christian as Christianity didn't exist at this point. He was of course a Jew. However the basic theme that runs through the Bible is that Jesus told people to ignore the silly Jewish religious rules and just be nice to each other - this is of course Humanism.

History

The talk was first given by Chris Worfolk at Rationalist Week 2008.
