It can get frustrating trying to find faith in a cerebral way. Been there, done that.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
"If you ask, "Well, so much for the City of Illusions, but where is the Place of Precious Things?", it is a place to which no directions can be given. For if it could be pointed out, it would be a place existing in space; hence, it would not be the real Place of Precious Things. All we can say is that it is close by. It cannot be exactly described, but when you have a tacit understanding of it, it is there."
Huang Po, Chinese Zen Master
Faith isn't in the brain or based on thoughts, it's found outside of thought phenomena and sensory perception phenomena.
Kingdom of God is reality seated beyond the veil of 5 senses and space and time, it is omnipresent and unfettered by space or time. You're talking like faith is a belief in a story. None of us found it like that, and you're simply searching in a wrong place.
Wish you well, keep knocking.

Oh seriously? Wow. Do you make statements like that in absolute ignorance, or are you trying to be a troll?
There is plenty of historical evidence of Jesus' resurrection.
Consider this one fact: the people who had inside knowledge of the Watergate scandal couldn't keep their mouths shut about the lies for even a couple of years. The apostles testified for decades that they had seen Jesus alive after His death. Most died still preaching that. Why would anyone die for something they knew was not the truth?

The difference between your statement and the majority of others, is that you declare Jesus was “A” sacrifice, as opposed to His declaration that He offered Himself up in eternity past; that He is “The” sacrifice that all of the others were teaching, and pointing to.
What one thinks of Jesus is a pivotal point in the life of every human.
