    I’m not religious but I also have nothing against people who are. But I never understood how the most popular Christian symbol is a guy being executed

      It’s to honor the sacrifice made. Although in the end it wasn’t really a sacrifice, not even the prophesied three full days. Just a long weekend with the payoff being returned to godhood. What the writers should have done is made it so Jesus was still in hell being tortured for our sins until the end days. That would be more of a plotline to suggest a sacrifice.
