St. Paul et. al. argue that what is now known as Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus died and rose from the dead to save us but a good many modern day Christians don't think too deeply about that literally happening if they even believe it did. Many do, of course, but many do not. Easter for some is a sort of myth, the story something of a poetic image of how things are. The rest believe something that doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.
