The jury is out on whether he was the Son of God, not whether he existed. Source? I've read plenty of articles that demonstrate that the evidence to support his existance is flimsy at best, and considering the first records of his existence weren't made until 30 years after he allegedly died I think it's simply be not-guillable to not believe he existed.

Even if he did exist, he was likely a minor figure in creating the character of Jesus, as the character of Jesus was most likely based off of a dozen or so anti-Roman figures from ancient Israel, so if it was simply "Jesus" who was erased from the TL Christianity would have still developed largely the same, with only a few real modifications to the faith.
