Some teaching about Jesus may be history, although most of our knowledge
is from one source. Teaching about Christ, a Greek translation of the
Hebrew Messiah, Saviour of Man, Son of God is not something that can be
historically checked and is a meaningless title unless you first ascertain
that there is a God and that he is the God of the Jews, which is
religion if anything is.

Because they are testable statements that can have evidence brought for and
against them?
