Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

Religions don’t tend to spring up from nowhere.

Let me introduce you to our good friend Ronald Hubbard and this pesky Religion called "Scientology"

Joseph Smith certainly looked at golden tablets to reveal the holy truth that black people have dark skin due to a curse upon them. /s

These sort of prove op's point tho, right? Like Hubbard and Smith were real people. They weren't magic like they claimed, but their historicity isn't questioned. So Jesus also coulda been a real person, a preacher, just not magic

No. There's a whole mythology that Smith alluded to. That mythology and its alleged revelation were supposedly there before smith or anyone else. Smith is a charlatan who started the myth.

Jesus' myth was started by alleged followers (being generous) at least 50+ years after his alleged existence.

All of the myths attributed to yeshua are torn from other sources and are a patchwork of stories that held attention at the time.

It's more likely yeshua was a myth told by charlatans who needed money to keep spreading the wonderful story of a Jew who could have ruled the Roman empire but fed the poor and healed others instead.
