Millions of people believe that God is real and that Jesus is alive.
Correction: Billions of people believe in thousands of Gods. A small handful believe Jesus is alive. So, logical fallacies aside, you lose the popularity contest anyway.

Can you really be confident that you are right and all of the believers n error?
You're pretty confident that the Hindus and Muslims are in error, aren't you? Why shouldn't I have similar confidence that you are in error too - especially since I know the flaws in your belief much better than I know the flaws in those others?

I've even had a couple of incidents that I knew were unexplainable.
So have I. Guess what? I don't explain them."God" is not a catchall explanation for the unexplained.

And before you bring up Santa Claus, everybody knows he is a myth unless you are 4 years old.
Every four-year-old Hindu knows that Jesus is a myth.

Finally, look at the many professionals who have degrees in Theology and Divinity and Philosophy who earned Doctorates in religious studies. Do you really think they dont believe?
I think they believe in a thousand different mutually-exclusive denominations and deities. Your Appeal to Authority doesn't work any better than yor Appeal to Popularity.

Was there not anyone who impressed you with honesty and good character?
Of course there were. Do you think there are no Hindus or Muslims or (shudder) Catholics with honesty and good character? Being honest doesn't make them right.

I sometimes feel as if skeptics and critics think all of Christianity is simply charlatans and fantasy based dreamers.
That's about it.
