re: For first time, “no religion” is more common than catholic or evangelical.

So I’m assuming you were at the counsel or is your guidance based on reading something someone else wrote?

There's a little more to it than what you seem to be implying. Maybe rely less on Dan Brown and more on scholarly church history.

Also, the stories about Jesus...they are specific stories that would be the equivalent of someone writing about a person today when they lived in the late 1700s (like George Washington)

So contemporary biographies/histories of Washington written now, three centuries later, are inaccurate?

So what do we say about the gospels?

Mark, Peter's disciple, translator, and scribe, writing what's essentially Peter's gospel. AD 55-70

Matthew, though subject to ongoing debate whether it's earlier than Mark. AD 50-70. I'm putting it second but that's my biased opinion.

Luke, the gentile physician and convert whose gospel is based on what are evidently his interviews with disciples, other eyewitnesses, and perhaps also Jesus's mother, Mary, making his account of Jesus's birth unique. A companion of St. Paul and entrusted to write accounts of Jesus in Luke's gospel and an account of the Church's birth and early history in Acts of the Apostles for instruction of new converts.
AD 62 for Luke's gospel and as early as AD 63 for Acts.

John's gospel has been moved from extremely late dates to a now reasonable and well accepted date of between AD 80 and 90. Though some serious scholars argue for an even earlier date. Because John's gospel concerns itself with the divinity of Jesus, not mentioning Jerusalem's destruction in 70 AD has less weight than in the more strictly historical/biographical gospels.
Gospel dates

So the synoptic gospels were written between 20 and 30 years after the Person and events they cover and 60 or so years in the case of John's gospel.
