LOL, child.
The use of the word stark is often used by atheists, to show that they are bold, unflinching, facing a bleak world with a unique courage, as opposed to the weak, timid religionists, who need squishy comfort and pie in the sky.
But such a construct is ITSELF mythological: since the prospect of being roasted alive forever is even more stark than oblivion (Sartre notwithstanding). And Prometheus (for whom the publishing house catering to "brights" was named) was explicitly mythological.
Second: you moved the goalposts, and again enganged in begging the question -- as you are assuming without proof that all the supernatural is made up.
Third: You apparently didn't even consider the contrast with a theology which everyone here appears to agree is man-made: the Greco-Roman pantheon; and the differences in the explanations and moral requirements.
Fourth: no mention of how namby-pamby the crucifixion was, either.
Do you read anything besides the "puzzles for the pious" pamphlets one can order from the back pages of the comic books?
Cheers!
