Jesus was actually not Christian.
Jesus was Jewish, but he didn't preach Christianity either, he preached Gnosticism, an offshoot of Judaism.
When he died, Paul latched onto the Jesus figure and started a cult around Jesus that would later become Christianity.
So in reality, Christianity was not the religion of Jesus. Christianity is a religion ABOUT Jesus, started around him mostly after his death. I think even Jesus' brother (he had many siblings) James opposed Christianity as was spread by Paul, saying it was against Jesus' own beliefs, which was primarily Gnosticism.
It's all fucked up.
