Jesus definitely existed There are historic records of him being alive. This isn't even controversial nowadays.
There certainly aren't factual historical records that he existed.
The whole Jesus story is an exact allegory of the Sun found in many other religions too, so you can't say for sure he was an actual person, or if there was that the actual person was anything like the stories told of him.
“While the Christ myth theory proposes that Jesus never existed, virtually all scholars reject the Christ myth theory and accept that a human Jesus existed“

The scholarship agrees that Jesus existed. Nobody is talking about all the "supernatural" stuff that comes along with it, but it is quite clear that Jesus was a religious leader of some sorts with a following. This isn't controversial at all.
Stanton (2002, p. 145): "Today nearly all historians, whether Christians or not, accept that Jesus existed and that the gospels contain plenty of valuable evidence which has to be weighed and assessed critically. There is general agreement that, with the possible exception of Paul, we know far more about Jesus of Nazareth than about any first or second century Jewish or pagan religious teacher."
Wells (2007, p. 446):"Today, most secular scholars accept Jesus as a historical, although unimpressive, figure."
Ehrman (2012, p. 4–5): "Serious historians of the early Christian movement—all of them—have spent many years preparing to be experts in their field. Just to read the ancient sources requires expertise in a range of ancient languages: Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and often Aramaic, Syriac, and Coptic, not to mention the modern languages of scholarship (for example, German and French). And that is just for starters. Expertise requires years of patiently examining ancient texts and a thorough grounding in the history and culture of Greek and Roman antiquity, the religions of the ancient Mediterranean world, both pagan and Jewish, knowledge of the history of the Christian church and the development of its social life and theology, and, well, lots of other things. It is striking that virtually everyone who has spent all the years needed to attain these qualifications is convinced that Jesus of Nazareth was a real historical figure."
Michael Grant, a classicist, states: "In recent years, 'no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non historicity of Jesus,' or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary."
"There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church’s imagination, that there never was a Jesus at all. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that any more."
Of course Jesus

By regular people I meant somebody who isn’t God’s son
