That depends on what you consider Christianity to be. If we are very picky, what Jesus intended to do and succeeded in doing was to complete the Jewish faith (which was waiting for the messiah). In that sense he doesn't found a new religion so much as give plenitude to an existing one. This radically new perception, however, coupled with the fact that not every Jew converted makes it a general assumption that he founded (and intended to found) an altogether new religion and it would be entirely appropriate to say so.
