That's certainly not the case with Muhammad, but yes it is with Jesus. Jesus was clearly a historical figure but the gospels were written down decades later so you can assume that the followers made him look better than he was. I mean, we can assume none of the large scale miracles took place, so what else did they make up? I don't know enough on Siddharta Gautama. Of course Moses didn't exist or nothing like the record we have which is from hundreds of years later.

<what you find in the written words did not even come from
Jesus,mohammed, budda other people long after these people were dead put words in their mouths.>

To say nothing of the translation of those 'telephoned' teachings through different languages, and even changes in meanings within a language over time... wonder why they bothered.. must have been pretty special eh?
