Even if Jesus wasn't the Son of God, He could have still been a normal human with a great amount of influence, much like Mohammed and Buddha as Weltall mentioned. I believe in Jesus for the same reason that I believe in Julius Caesar and other figures from before His time--because historic documents (and I don't just mean the Bible) claim that He existed, and I have no reason not to believe those documents anymore than I would disbelieve that Caesar existed.
