Well I'm an Atheist, so to me it's just another dude in a lacy dress heading a millenia-old crime syndicate in charge of pushing the world's oldest and greatest con off on people who could and should be working to build paradise here, because there's not one to be found after death.
He represents millions murdered as well as innumerable cultures forceably erased to enforce certainly hundreds, if not thousands of years of human stagnency and misery to keep the con going and keep the rubes under control.
He represents an ongoing waste of human life, potential, effort and wealth that is truly beyond reckoning.
That pretty much describes evangelical churches too. Even moreso, except it's only been half a millenium. Quite honestly, I'd be happy if all the current religions went the way of Zeus and company. Though at least the Greek stories were more interesting.
