That's fine. You believe as you want and let others believe as they want. If everyone believed in the same thing, then life would become pretty bland--who would you be arguing with, then?
And some "bloke" didn't just dream up Christianity two thousand years ago. Christianity, as well as all modern religions, are all born of the same proto-religion. The argument is that there is a "God gene" that makes humans innately believe in higher beings, which is why the idea of spirit gods and creationism has been around since the age of man. (Of course, the idea of a "God gene" seems entirely preposterous, but the fact that humans have always held spiritual beliefs is all the same.)
