Atheists, why should Jesus Christ become so popular if..?

1) He was a King, he was a descendant of King David 2) He did write a book, but for some reason the men who put together the Bible left it out 3) He's accepted because He did something noone else could probably do. He was TORTURED to death. Do you think if someone told you you could save the human race if you died in one of the most horrible ways imaginable that you would be able to do the same???
