Christianity is not a false religion, but it is predicated on a lie. Jesus did not rise from the dead, if he had, he would be here. I do not believe Jesus was the Messiah or the son of God. The NT is the doctrine of Satan. Job 31:35 "...behold; my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book". Satan means "adversary". Jesus is Satan's counterfeit messiah. God appeared to Moses for forty days and nights, in a mount and while fasting, and commissioned him. Exodus 34:28. Satan appeared to Jesus also for forty days and nights, in a mount and while fasting and commissioned him. Jesus was offered the world if he would serve Satan. Jesus came out of that experience preaching the Kingdom of God, which has yet to materialize. He took the offer. Jesus is Lucifer, which means "morning star". That was who Jesus claimed to be. Revelation 22:16.

If Jesus did not rise from the grave, I, and untold millions and millions of others, are in deep do do. Our faith means nothing and we can live anyway we want to as people. We are also lost for eternity. This is where it ends when we are no longer are alive as a human being.
Food for thought! We all know that once you die that is it and your body begins to rot and returns to the ground. If this had happened with Jesus, he would have never been viewed as the Resurrection. He would have simply been remembered as a nice guy who taught a nice philosophy of Brotherhood. You can't perpetrate a lie like that for two thousand years. Something unique had to have happened to burn that belief in men's hearts. If Christ was not who he said he was, he would have been remembered for a short period of time and his name would be a footnote in some theology book for an interesting discussion in a classroom on a Wednesday afternoon. There have been tough men and women who were brilliant and you would never think who would accept such a strange far out claim that a dead man came back to life in three days. It violates everything we know in the real world as human beings. It is a pretty big lump to have to swallow and it goes against everything you know to be true as a person. If God can create a big universe like we see every night before we go to bed, why can't He do something like raise His Son from the grave? He did it and the world has never been the same. Susan that is why you are fighting and struggling with this very concept. There is something to it and it is very unique. You have the right to believe what you want to believe about Jesus. I hope one day it is settled in your heart. I will not say anymore.
