Obviously, Jesus of Nazareth, i.e., Jesus Christ, is the founder of the Christian religion. His apostles, and subsequently, His disciples continued his legacy and His teachings. After a time the Christian church was called "Catholic", which means universal, as our Lord wanted only one, true Church - not thousands. Not until the Reformation in 1517 A.D. was there any other Christian denomination. If you were a Christian, you were a Catholic. When Martin Luther, a disgruntled Catholic priest, left the Church and founded the Lutheran religion, "Protest"anism was born. Since then, innumerable christian religions have been founded, all by human beings who have their own versions of what they believe is "the truth". It appears that if you disagree with your church, go off and start your own. This is a sure-fired prescription for heresy. I'll stick with the Church founded by Jesus Christ Himself!
