Christianity was founded by the followers of Christ when his teaching started in the middle east nearly two thousand years ago. I'm not sure the above is correct. Jesus was Jewish and attended synagog (sp?) He came to the Preists of his religion to tell them he is the Son of God. He was crucified in great part for this. He was doing nothing more than showing up in the temple and telling them He is the one that was prophesized would come out of the House of David and fullfill the propheses. The Jews did not believe him and they killed him. Jesus did not come to say he was a teaching a new religion called Christianity, he came into world as a Jewish person that reverred and attended his faith, Judaism, not, Christianity. Christianity was founded when Jesus was discovered at the tomb and it was proven he rose from the dead. That is when it started. That first Easter Morning when he rose from the dead and the conflict of the stories He had risen cause conflict with the Jewish preists of the day. They killed the messiah that was prophesized, the Jews rejected Jesus and in that rejection came the followers of a new religion, the followers of Christ, or Christinaity.
