The world shall always be a place of magic and beauty, let us not forget that fairy tales can bring the biggest smiles. Would the world be a better place, with one less story, I think not.

Not a lot different. Instead of millions of people worshipping a dying/resurrecting Jesus, we'd have millions of people worshipping a dying/resurrecting Mithra, Tammuz, Osiris, or Dionysus. Those pagan religions didn't die out until they were banned by the Christians - and if the Christians weren't there, the pagan gods would have continued on as usual.

Not at all, Jesus was a wonderful person who brought some amazingly progressive thought to humanity. The ones that should NOT have been born are those who take HIS words and misinterpret them to justify their hatred of others who aren't like themselves.

Some form of worship would have taken its place. Would the world be better off if it was 50% Moslem rather than 30% Christian/20% Moslem?
Overall Christians aren't too bad, especially if they are private about their beliefs, it's just the nutty fundamentalist fanatics we have to watch out for.

He never was born, so it was necessary for humans to invent him, just as they invented all the other messiahs and minor deities. If it hadn't been for Paul's organizational genius, the tiny cult of Jesus would have faded away altogether like so many others.

All of the followers of Abrahamic religions should be exorcised. They have done nothing but cause death and suffering. The religions themselves are wonderful, loving, peaceful spiritualities. Oh, if only their followers could be likewise.

though it would be nice if some people would be more open to the world around them, to me Jesus was a teacher.

No, I do not think so. It might have been better if he had not been elevated to the level of deity and people murdered in his name though.

No, Televangelists would just be trying to convince people Mithras needs money, that's all.
