Can anyone help me interpret American Gods by Neil Gaiman?

Gaiman, in an interview, was asked why the big religions, like Chritianity, weren't represented. He said he didn't think beings like Jesus fit in, because the Gods he did use were basically fighting for their existence--they're dying because no one blieces in them anymore. Jesus, and others of his popularity, don't have Thayer problem. Gaiman said, if anything, Jesus and others would look at their petty war with contempt; it wouldn't be worth their time to participate.

Also, Gaiman also showed how people have been coming to America ar before Columbus arrived, such as the Chinese on the east coast and the Vikings (how much of this is actually supported theories, I don't know). Plus, only one person's belief was needed to carry a God over to America.

Thanks, I figured it was something along those lines.
