I mean, in the book it even mentions that there are other people doing the exact same thing Jesus did. The book even implies that Jesus was not even one of the more popular trouble makers of the time. It's more or less the sophists in a back-woods community that the Romans gave very little fucks about. Not surprising there's little-to-no evidence.

That much is obvious, if you read Lucian, street prophets with followers were a mundane thing to see.

Actually now when the fine tradition of burning heretics is all but gone in the European cultures, this trait of Antique Mediterranean is slowly coming back.
