Isn’t it true that “One of the most certain facts of history is that Jesus was crucified on orders of the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate”?

The crucifixion of Jesus at the order of Pontius Pilate has been described as the most sure fact in history by notable atheists and skeptics:

Gerd Lüdemann (atheistic NT professor at Göttingen): “Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable.”
– Gerd Lüdemann, The Resurrection of Jesus: History, Experience, Theology (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1994), p. 50.

John-Dominic Crossan (scholar in the skeptic Jesus Seminar): “That [Jesus] was crucified is as sure as anything historical can ever be, since both Josephus and Tacitus… agree with the Christian accounts on at least that basic fact.”

– John-Dominic Crossan, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography (Harper One. 1995), 145.

Bart Ehrman (atheistic NT scholar): “One of the most certain facts of history is that Jesus was crucified on orders of the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate.”

– Bart Ehrman, The Historical Jesus: Lecture Transcript and Course Guidebook, Part 2 of 2 (Chantilly, VA: The Teaching Company. 2000), 162.

If these facts are so sure, what other facts related to Jesus are equally as sure?
