I have a fourth option: A bunch of Jesus-Mythicists who want to force their theory into the mainstream by holding a well-advertised conference that would gain publicity by featuring some big names like John Dominic Crossan. Unfortunately, the part about getting big names appeares to have backfired.

On other hand, the “project” rank as “scholars”, some Jesus Mythologists who are in fact amateurs in historical Jesus studies, and notorius internet atheists.

Please, take a look on the “curricula” of some “fellows” of Jesus Project, in the project’s site:

Timothy Freke
“Timothy Freke is a well-known author, in the scholarly sphere as well as the general public. He is considered an authority on Gnosticism and world mysticism” (…) He holds a degree in philosophy and has co-authored numerous pieces centered on world mysticism and Gnosticism with Peter Gandy”

Frank Zindler
Frank Zindler is currently the editor of “American Atheist Magazine” and Director of American Atheist Press. A recognized member of the ongoing debate on creationist pseudoscience and evolution, he has been a biology, psychobiology and geology professor for many years. (…) Zindler has written and spoken extensively on Biblical history, creationism and evolution and the historicity of Jesus”.

In fact, I have no doubt that is “a case of para-academic fraud”
