Yeah, he was almost certainly a real person. Sure there are theories out there about how he wasn't real, but it just doesn't seem like that makes much sense. He was real, he had a very idealistic philosophy that was made more so once written down, and there's no way that humanity could ever live up to all of what he says.
He was also probably mentally ill in some way, as most people who truly think they hear God are, but hey... lots of people who have done great things have had mental illnesses. :)
