From the birth of religion and the idea of gods, there was not actual proof and if there were there is no proof of that. So people’s faith in Jesus is all based on a hypothesis that if the church keeps the values of the bible they can retain power and the ideological effect would be that the societies will some what follow the law.
So what would happen if we suddenly find out that all religions are means of control. Hitler as much of a mad man as he was is a good example of how he got people to follow him and most without question. The point is this has been going on for thousands of years., so are our ideological taught and our societies built on lies.

Now was that the right way to answer a question, grammar seem to be the reason you get reported, I will not report you but others may. So stop with the profanity and give a nicer answer I think you have good answers if you changed the wording

I suppose you are an expert on faith, the comments say a lot but some people like you an expert professor in religion knows nothing about thinking, you are despicable and make me understand you have no knoledage in anything but self-righteousness

I think you are right, you Christians you do not use your intelligence as much you are using your emotions " from the several answers and questions in this forum", and you do not seek or search for truth.
So, why you are afraid, just do simple search and take say 3 months of your life and try to search for reality? and compare existing religions.

Jesus entered my heart by a Spiritual Awakening.
I knew almost nothing about the Bible before then.
After the Spiritual Awakening, I started reading the
Bible because I wanted to know more. My life has been so much better since. I Believe the Bible is the Truth.
Because most people believe in God, I had opened my
Heart to the possibility that they may all be right and I
was wrong. Jesus entered my heart and I Became a
"Born Again Christian",
I believe Jesus died for my sins and I have been
forgiven. When there is no one to turn to Jesus is
always there to comfort me.

The idea behind a reliable Bible is it was written by people who were there seeing Jesus walking, talking, and preaching His good news. Actual witnesses (kind of like witnesses in a court room) wrote the Bible. Are you more likely to believe someone who was at the scene, or someone who thinks they heard it from some guy the other day?
The other half of your question: A 12 person (the Apostles) conspiracy? I doubt it. These people, and the ones who saw Jesus doing what He did, were at odds with the Jewish Law of the time. The Romans helped hunt them down. One of the Apostles was crucified upside down because of his belief in Jesus. If it was a lie, don't you think, in the face of his own death, he'd have said "WAIT! Wait! We made it up!"?

It's a belief that the Holy Spirit guides people to understand that we are sinners in need of a Saviour and then leads them to believe in Jesus. It's more than deciding to believe a religion after reading a book.

Its peoples desire to belong to something that gives them meaning. The uncertainty of the afterlife scares many people and it drives them to believe in things that bring them comfort. Its a feeling of power, to be special and most of all gives them hope in something better than the here and now. So basically it is out of fear, but there is nothing to fear, everyone will reach enlightenment one day and eventually find their own heaven.

I wouldn't believe anything by reading a book. There is a lot more to it than that. The Bible is not the reason I believe in God.

to add on a lot of people immediatly condem witches and people of other religious like that when in fact they seem to be based on more truth because there are actually steps to calling upon those gods and if done correctly they will answer, so why is so much faith invested in a god that cannot be contacted?

All you need to know is that if you live your life with the grace and moral confidence that Jesus did you will be a good citizen.

Alot of people are afraid to any research for themselves. Some people want something to believe in, no matter what it is.
