She also could have been the victim of rape and Joseph trying to protect her, instead of her being a cheater and Joseph being dumb. If they both did exist of course.
The thing is, the earliest versions of the gospels didn't contain a nativity story at all, instead starting with Jesus' baptism. The whole "virgin birth" thing was retconned in after the religion was already up and running.

Jesus did exist too but he was a regular human and some kind of pop star at the time

I guess the pilgrims must have been on the good shit to not see the cap.
