Mary had to make up a story for why she was pregnent after cheating on Joseph and it ended up seriously getting out of hand.

I think I figured out why Jesus ended up being such an important figure in history!

That's how it started but it REALLY took off when a coat-check-boy saw an opportunity to create a new international religion and ran with it.

That would make Joseph an idiot. The only way a man with half a brain would believe such a story is if he had had a supernatural experience as well. And he did.

I always found the beginning of the Jesus story humorous for this reason.

We don't know that Joseph believed it; we are only told as much via hearsay. It is just as likely that Mary was so incredibly smoking hot that Joseph didn't care that she got knocked up before they married. It is EVEN MORE likely that Joseph and Mary actually HAD done the deed already and so he didn't really know whether the child was his.
You can't believe everything you read, you know.
Q: How often does a news report get all the details correct, even when the reporter is an eyewitness who also interviewed other eyewitnesses?
A: Never. It isn't even possible given the way the human mind functions.

Jesus of Nazareth allegedly died around 29 AD, accompanied by a whole lot of fireworks and miracles the likes the world has never seen. And then everyone forgot, for 40+ years. Then Saul of Tarsus came along and told a story about a vision he had had about a man who was crucified, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Noteworthy is that he said nothing else about Jesus. In letters he wrote something like 80,000 words about the early Christian movement but said nothing about Mary, the virgin birth, Joseph, Bethlehem, Harrod, John the Baptist, none of Christ's miracles, never quotes anything Jesus is supposed to have said, never says anything at all of Jesus' ministry, never talks about the entrance into Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate, the Jewish mob and trials, nothing at all about the story of Jesus' life or even that he ever walked the earth at all. The first accounting of the life of Jesus came from Mark, who in his story tells of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, so all the gospels were written later than that, probably much later. Considered in context, Jesus is not an important figure in history, because he never existed.
