Take into account that He is said to have performed miracles, which many of us would consider to be a form of magick.

What was Jesus' faith?

Jesus was Jew. He was born a Jew, taught as a Jew, and died as a Jew. Performing miracles was not uncommon in that time. What would have been uncommon is that a peasant was performing them. It was still fully acceptable in the Jewish faith though as there were other faith healers who performed so called miracles.
Presumably, he also believed in himself and considered himself to be God. Wouldn't that make him a Christian?

Not at all. It is highly doubtful that he considered himself God. There are passages that elude to it, but those are not considered authentic to Jesus.
Christianity existed as a form of Judaism for quite some time. In reality, Jesus never even created a new religion. He had kept with the Jewish tradition. After the crucifixion (which I think it the most logical place to stop his life story at), nothing special happened. It wasn't as if over night Christianity sprung up. Instead, the followers of Jesus were still Jews.
At the time of his death, he was not considered divine. It was not until later that that idea took hold.

He was atheist. It was hilarious.
That could make him anything.

Jesus was a follower of Sanatan Dharma of course!
That is why Indian wise men visited him, why he travelled to India during the missing years and then lived until old age in India. He was a serious Yogi, that guy
I had read that the wise men were from India, and that Jesus went to India to study. I just finished The Yoga of Jesus, and the Eastern view of Christ is very compelling.

Were not those Wise men (i.e Magi) actually Zoroastrians from Persia?
Hinduism is one of the religion that allows a man to say that he is God.Jesus said "I and my father are One"..a reflection of yogic consciousness.
But I dont think Jesus was a Buddhist,because Buddhists being non-thiests tend to use some kind of negative language ( like Void,non-self ,etc) to describe the reality.

I see Hindu and/or Buddhist influences in Jesus' message, personally.

"And", not "or".
It's one of the mysteries of the Trinity.
