It's an interesting phenomenon: Jesus is generally presented as an admirable or at least benign figure, even in non-Christian or even anti-Christian media. Atheists, Buddhists and authors of stories unflattering in their portrayal of the Almighty or religion in general are nonetheless complimentary to that nice Jewish boy. This is often used as a Take That ("Jesus was cool even if his followers all suck"), as a number of the examples show. This characterization of Jesus may be used in works aimed at young children as an attempt to make them consider Christianity in general as "cool".
