    If you believe in The Bible (I don’t), it was God (who is also identified as Jesus (the word)) who killed him and no one else. It was basically a suicide.

    24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?"

    “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."

    -Basically a death cult that poised itself to be a suicide cult.

          It just notes that there are a plurality of interpretation of the Bible, and that edgy atheists and evangelicals generally have the same, but the firsts reject Christianity because of this interpretation while evangelicals embrace this interpretation.
