Nope, not all of us. Also; your movie cites the Egyptian sun god Horus as being "born of a virgin" and such, but that is simply not even close to truth. Horus' mother was Isis, and father was Osiris.
The date December 25, also is never mentioned in the Bible. In fact, the roman catholic church proclaimed it nearly 500 years later, as a vestige of the Roman holiday of Saturnalia, observed near the winter solstice. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that nowhere in the Bible does it name December 25 as 'Jesus' Birthday'. Extending from that, i bring up the three wisemen (not kings, Zoroastrian priests.) who visited upon the birth of Jesus; this is also a misconception. The three wisemen most likely did not show up until roughly two months later, once again falling short of the Astronomical anomalies presented as truth in 'Zeitgeist'.
Similarly, simply because things are written in the Bible does not make them true. The Bible, being written by humans, is subject to human fallacies. Some may claim that the 'devil is in the details', to an extent, this is true. Details in the Bible seem to parallel pagan religions, but i would argue that in order to grab attention of pagan readers, the story of Jesus is purposefully worded to sound like an earthly fulfillment of the 'sun god' story so prevalent in pagan culture, yet when you look at the ministry of Jesus, the message is vastly different. Christianity focuses on a personal god who takes interest in human affairs; not necessarily a person, mind you, but a personal being not subject to time or space, but separate.
Your precious little peice of fiction is based only on anecdotal evidence, and claims the oft-debunked Jesus myth hypothesis to be canonical fact.
