Christianity started with the death of Jesus Christ and the subsequent resurrection recorded in The Bible. His followers believed that he was raised up from the dead and began spreading their faith. This is estimated to have happened around 33 CE, so it would be approximately 2000 years ago.

Many biblical students now point to the release of the Holy Spirit of God upon the disciples in the Upper Room outside of Jerusalem on Pentecost Sunday, 17 June 31 AD. Therefore, Christianity is approaching 2000 years, being 1985 years old plus 1 year for the calendar error by Denis the Little omitting the year zero.
