I think he’s saying that because the original cult would have considered themselves Jewish the Pharisees (understood within the text to be the contemporary Jewish theocratic leadership but it’s a bit more complex in reality) arguing for his execution are basically the same thing as Christians.
Which is silly.
I assume he lost the context of the argument or wasn’t raised in… Any Abrahamic faith because wow.
Supposedly Pilate pissed off the Jewish population repeatedly in his governorship by pushing Roman religion and minting coins with non-Jewish imagery, so I think we can safely say he wasn’t Jewish and was presumably Greco-Roman or Mithraic.
Tbf he was crucified by romans of unspecified religion. Also he got better.

I have not read a Bible beyond Genesis, would appreciate an actual quote rather than just the citation.

Not being a literal expert on the topic I’m not sure whether the imagery used implies one but not the other.
Definitely not Jewish though!
