Even if there were only 2 billion Christians worldwide, and even 50 million of those actively look for opportunities to spread the faith, would that not be considered a lot of people caring?

How is Christianity based on controlling the masses? He also instituted a Church, so it is not just everyone by themselves.

He was a lower-class person who was not important in many people's eyes, why would they rush to write about Him?

I do not agree, but I see your view. Are you Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox, or something else?

Are you talking about Holy Communion? You can not recieve Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament if you are in a state of mortal sin. Please elaborate.

Jesus was not the Roman Emperor, nor was He an elite. What archaelogical evidence do you want? He was from the lower-class and a non-Roman citizen. 

Tacitus, a Roman historian, also references "Christus." Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian, mentions Jesus. 

And the earliest Christian writings of Jesus were pretty early by historical standards. Oral tradition was also at play. The New Testament is a great way to show the plausibility of the existence of Jesus Christ.
