For an alternative view of Jesus try John Spong's books. There's a recent one called I think "Jesus for the non-religious". As AM said the historical significance of Christianity can not be ignored, perhaps if you could look at it as part of evolution. The evolution of ideas, of archetypes, of morals and ethics, an evolution that continues to this moment. Churchianity is stuck in the past, if you look only at that, all you will see is the past. What is more important, that or where we are now, and where we humans are headed?
