What we can honestly say we know of the actual historical personage "Jesus"? Not bloody much. The character that appears in the gospels is evidently composite, reconstructed from the preserved sayings of one or more Jewish prophet types of the sort that were really quite common for the times, with some dramatic elements borrowed from paganism.
In other words, there's not much use, from the point-of-view of the scrupulous, responsible historian, in discussing the life of Jesus at all. Legend has completely subsumed historical reality.
As for the institutions founded in his name, I think it's fairly easy to make the case for describing them as "evil." Were people in general not so miserably ignorant of honest history, they'd have a hard time reconciling themselves to their religion.

No, people believe he is the son of God but i do not think he proclaimed himself so, just church folk.He was a good man,but not the son of God,in my opinion.That does not make him evil

Troy, before you make such a statement, read the Tanakh (Old Testament) & The Gospels & the letters of Paul with a heart for searching the truth.
If you still feel that your question might be true, then there are hundreds of ways to get to hell, Congrats! you've picked one !
(spoken by the Prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus was born)
"He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not."
Isaiah 53:3, KJV read the entire Chapter Isaiah 53.
But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:7 ¶ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

No way! that is a total contradiction of everything he stood for and did. I mean what evil being would sacrifice himself for the sins of his people so that they would not have to be punished for them. If he was evil he would not have done anything but instead made things worse.

No Jesus was not evil/is not evil. That is not an acceptable attack on the beliefs of other people.

The existence of Jesus is ridiculous to begin with. Christianity is 2000 years (and counting) of lies just to control the masses.
Just look into... even just a little bit. It's so obvious!!!

shut up... He was one of the messengers of ALLAH. He was not the son of God but just a creation of Almighty God.

Definiteley not. Besides, a tricker wouldn't have sacrified himself for someone else.
