This has been suggested from time to time, but his own epistles show that he did not actually found Christianity, although he might have founded an important branch of Christianity. In Galatians, he concedes that he had opposed or persecuted the Christians before he decided to join them. He talks of Christian communities already in existence, most particularly in Rome, which he had not even visited when he wrote to the Romans. He also talks of visiting Jerusalem to visit a Christian community there, and found three pillars of the Jerusalem church - James, Peter and John.

Paul was one of those in Antioch first called Christian ... probably by their opponents. The term "Christian" is an anachronism that none of the early followers of Jesus would have used.
