In her works, Acharya contends that Jesus is a fictional person and a pagan myth plagiarized by the Early Christian Church, as opposed to an actual person. Acharya's book, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold is an expanded version of an article on her site called "The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ." The followup book Suns of God: Krishna, Buddha and Christ Unveiled provides a voluminous amount of backup material, including some 40 pages of illustrations. In she writes primarily on the lives of Krishna and Buddha, and how they parallel Jesus Christ. Acharya thoroughly documents the claims concerning the numerous similarities between Christ and an assortment of other mythical gods of the ancient world.
For example: Many of the ancient gods were "born of a virgin" on December 25th or the winter solstice, with wise men and a star attending their births, which frequently took place in a cave or "manger." These gods also went on to heal the sick and resurrect the dead, themselves dying and resurrecting in order to provide "eternal life."
