BTW, he didn't actually rise from the dead because that is absurd. They wrote that bit in after the fact. His teachings are what made him popular and are what was important.

Except that you missed out that the reason why God put Jesus on earth was to basically be sacrificed, so while his teachings were important. the whole reason why he was there, and the whole concept of sacrifice are the key core of the whole faith.
And thanks for putting the whole he didn't rise from the dead thing because we wouldn't have ever realized that.
You; continually skip over the real reason why Jesus was here, the teachings and his travels were to establish who and what he was.
But that isn't key to the faith and a major part of the symbology of the church
