Janszoon has it right here, but even if your claim were addressed at face value, Jesus is simply the last in a line of many. If popularity implies Jesus is believable to the point of assuming he was telling the truth, why then were the previous incarnations of his story NOT the truth?
Answer: None of them are telling the truth. Jesus is perhaps slightly more convincing than his forebears but his story is the same as theirs to a remarkable and suspect degree, leading me to believe he is simply retelling an old tale. Think of Stephen Fry reading a Harry Potter book vs A drunkard doing it. One is clearly far more convincing and charismatic, but neither of them is telling the truth.
