As do I, but I believe that at least some early Christians worshiped Christ as a great teacher, ala Buddha, without all of the wacky superstitious stuff, such as the immaculate conception, and the resurrection and ascension. Constantine and the Romans added (borrowed?) that stuff to lend a sense of grandeur to an otherwise boring religion, at least by pagan standards.
