I expect that the name of Jesus is more widely hated than the name of Mohammed.

I expect you're wildly wrong.
​
Islam venerates Christ as a prophet; Hindus are generally happy to view him as another avatar of God, and Buddhists generally view Jesus as an enlightened being. Jews, of course, might be bemused at your failure to leave their Book alone and just use his, but I've never seen any hate. Pagans think he needs rescue from the Puritans but is worth it.
​
Who do you think hates the name of Jesus?

I don't expect you can understand the truth of Christianity, but Christians do.
​
Let us know the first time you can demonstrate that anyone was crucified, died, resurrected 3 days later, and sat at the right hand of God the Father as Lord.
​
I don't expect you can understand the light of reason, but rational people do.
