I imagine that economically Jesus probably would be more of a "socialist" leaning person. .

There are numerous instances in the bible where it talks about working hard and enjoying the fruits of your labor. There are no fruits tied directly to your labor in a socialist government!

Im obviously an Atheist, however Christ is a fascinating guy to learn about from a historical point of view. I wish we knew more about him in his teen and young adult years.

I agree! He was both human and God, which is hard to wrap my mind around.
Did he experience some of the same internal struggles we all did in our adolescence? It would be good to have had some insight into that, but the one thing that gets lost on a lot of hard core fundamentalists, is that he taught us to focus on our relationships with each other as opposed to the hard adherence to the law that the Jews teach. Adhering to the law is not a bad thing neccessarily, unless it turns your focus to specific tasks and your relationships suffer as a result!
