He was jewish, and the ones who followed him created a new religion to wear his name. If you tell him about christianity, he would probably ask what that is....

Jesus was born a Jew. But his teaching were more in line with Buddhism (love, forgiveness, generosity).
Buddha was born 500 years before Christ and there was known silk trade between Buddhist countries and the Roman Empire. It's likely that Jesus was aware of Buddhist teachings and tried to bring them to his people. He was rejected by the powerful Roman and Jewish leaders and put to death.
History has lost the Buddhist connections but there are many book in print that compare Jesus words with the words of Buddha.

Christians are followers of Christ who receve the atonement.
Christ is the Son of God a part of the whole of God.
God is not a denomination or a religion.

He is the Christ. The word "christian" was just somethin people called the believers who followed christ. It was originally used to mock and insult them, but they took the name (and the shame) and ran with it. So,we have "christians" meaning Christ-follower.

Christianity followed him. His followers declared him God. He was simply a realised soul, who worked for humanity.
