Emile, the history of man on earth is replete with lots of stories about God. The resurrection myth comes from Isis and Osiris, in Egypt. There were sixteen crucified saviors before Jesus, several of them born on December 25, which was the day the ancients saw the sun as being reborn to bring light in the coming year. There is nothing about Jesus or Christianity that is at all new--there is a rich mythological history from the beginning of time in all cultures, and most of them have very similar creation myths, for example. In fact, the pagan and Christian myths all swirl together in a big stew, because there is something in our nature which wants to believe in eternal life.
