The wikipedia doesn't assume that. The wikipedia is quite happy to have people saying both that Jesus was resurrected as well as not, for example.
I don't believe we are happy with that. If an article said any of these things, we would remove them:
"Jesus was resurrected."
"Jesus was not resurrected."
"Jesus Christ is primarily a mythological construct rather than an historical figure."
Hey nice strawman; I said the wikipedia is happy to have *people* say that. And you removed the people!
We would replace them with things like:
"Christians believe Jesus was resurrected."
Uh. No. You would need to specify the people more than Christians. Christians don't invariably believe that.
