It's honestly probably better if you don't know anything about the characters. Caitlyn and Vi are pretty different from the game and really the only deep lore cut you'd miss is the Brackern crystals, and that's probably going to be spoilers for season 2.
Jesus almost certainly existed, Tacitus refers to his cult and execution and he was not a fan of the weirdo Jewish cannibal cult or their growing popularity in Rome.
Tacitus explicitly refers to a "Christus" crucified by Pilate and the cult followers he gave his name to, "Chrestianos," distinct but related to Judaism. If there is a problem with citing him as proof of Jesus's historical reality it's that he doesn't tell us where he heard about "Christus," and might just be reporting the claims of the cult without having bothered to see if Prefect Pilate actually executed a random Hebrew cult leader for treason.
Of course, by the time Tacitus wrote he might just not have bothered, rebelling against Rome and getting executed for it is just kind of what Hebrews did at the time.

Normally that's not really an accusation anonymous people should use on the Internet, but the man's so cringingly servile I don't think anyone can deny the accuracy.
Other than the fact that it/some of it was probably detected in 2023 and all the models do mostly work. Plus the LHC proved the existence of the Higgs Boson.
His foreign relations record includes a hell of a lot of ratfucking the third world, including being so paranoid about communism he ended up pushing quite a few nations into the Soviet sphere when the coups didn't work (Cuba, cough cough cough) and directly enabling some of history's greatest monsters when they did, but he is an American president so grade that on a curve I guess
There's also a reason why the US Army had to be forced by Congress into buying more tanks instead of replacing the Abrams with IFVs. The next generation will be reintroducing the idea of light tanks regardless.
