Whether he was supernatural or not, Jesus of Nazareth did launch a crucial institution which plays a huge role in our everyday lives. Namely: the institution of "not following tyrants who proclaim themselves to be gods". In Jesus's day, world leaders did proclaim themselves gods, and used sword and pen to enforce it. Praise Jesus that doesn't happen any more. The reason it doesn't happen any more is because no amount of gunpowder or brainwashing can sway a born-again Christian to bow down and worship a worldly king. Once Christianity spreads and takes root in an area, it becomes impossible for the rulers of that area to enforce their own godhood. Caesar can no longer make himself god when a sizable portion of the population believes the Gospel of Jesus. The kingdom of heaven is near.
