Eric Manning's debunk on his channel Testify:
This Terrible Atheist Meme About the Gospels Must Stop

My own:
There is more to the answer than that.
When two friends of mine (well, at least one's a friend) visited NYC, I asked them to take a photo of the Daily Bugle building.
For some reason, they didn't.
Almost seems as if Daily Bugle were a made up institution ...
Meanwhile, Gospels and Acts (etc) mention the Church. Seems to have been documented in other resources too, including Josephus calling them a "tribe" ...
Real stories don't leave just imaginary institutions.
Fake stories either do that or add some bends and flourishes on existing ones. D.D.T. = Direction départementale des Territoires exists. But it never had one Edmond Fouvreaux. (Yes, I'm a fan of Signé Furax). Baker Street preexisted certain stories, but Conan Doyle invented 221B (it later became a real adress).
Fake origin stories don't explain real institutions.
