Catholic church sued to prove existence of Jesus
In defense of iano I would have to say that 'redness' is certainly an objective concept because it is clearly defined by the reflection of a specific range of wavelengths of visible light.
But on the subject of belief in atheism, I note that the Catholic Church will be forced to appear in the high court of the European Union to present evidence that Jesus actually existed.
You can see a CNN video clip here:
CNN - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos
The instigator of the suit?
You guessed it. An atheist.
I always enjoy seeing the Catholic Church get called on the carpet to defend their ridiculous dogma - and try to protect their ridiculous wealth.
They are saying this has the potential to be more controversial than the Da Vinci Code which, after all, is self-professed fiction.
But then I suppose that when you're devoted to a dogma, even fiction can pose a threat to your fragile world view.

I imagine the defendant (in this case the RC church) will settle itself comfortably into the position of 'innocent until proven guilty'
I am not sure that they will be able to do this.
The prosecution's strategy will be that the onus is on the RC to produce convincing evidence that Jesus exists. Their very claim to legitimacy as a (tax free) organization rests on this 'fact'.
Otherwise, de facto, they have been perpetrating, and profiting from, a huge scam on gullible world populations.
