If you don't believe it, then it doesn't matter to you anyway.
But according to Christian theology, yes, he did. And that is how anyone who has a relationship with God (in whatever sense they understand) is capable of having that relationship. Nobody comes to the Father except by Jesus Christ and there is no other name by which a man may be saved, according to Christianity. Therefore, a non-Christian's relationship with God as he/she understands Him/Her/It exists through Christ in the Trinity, whether the non-Christian is aware of it (or likes it) or not.
To the Christian, faith and morality is as objectively true, logical, and verifiable as the rest of existence and therefore a person can think what he or she likes, but it doesn't change anything. I can believe the earth is flat but that belief will not alter the fact that if I sail around the world I won't fall off an edge.

Jesus didn't die in your place, he died for your sins. As said in Jonh 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not parish but have everlasting life.For God sent not his son into the world to condem the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Actually he died in your place, my place, and everyone's place. Back then people would pick out their best lamb and have it sacrificed in place of their sins. Lambs were used because they did not run away. What happened to them just happened. And Jesus is know as the lamb of God. He allowed man to lead him to be sacrified for our sins. This was done so that we would no longer have to pay for our wrongs. This is known as the free gift and all you have to do is accept it. God and Jesus will not send you to hell. You will send yourself there if you choose not to accept the gift. Hell was made for the devil and his angels, but he's going to have company if you don't accept the free gift.

he died to save the world from themselves and there own stupididy and so far it hasnt proven all too effective as far as the masses go. the answers are out there though remove the religious foundation that the modern system has drilled in your head and really seek a high level of conciousness. You will find it.

The Bible tells us that God sent his Son, Jesus, so that we may have eternal life in Heaven with Him.
"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin, But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:1, 2
We all will one day face our physical death, but Jesus died so that we may have the option to never face a spiritual death.

Yes, Jesus died for you whether you believe it or not. He died while you were yet in sin.

Not in your place, but died for you, so you could live eternally. And yes, he did it whether you believe or not.

Yes, Jesus died to save the world. Everyone. All you have to do is accept and you're saved.

No, he died at my place, and the blood was annoying to get out of my carpet, but that's what he gets for visiting when I was not expecting anyone. Should have at least rung the bell.
