It is a bit long, but very eye opening...
"Religion: The Birth of Jesus"
For example: "To make their case in this congested theological universe, the Gospel writers collected traditions in circulation and told Jesus' story—not in a clinical way but, as John put it, so 'that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.'"
Apparently the Gospels and the nativity were just "created" to fit in with the current culture.
