That's something for you to come to terms with yourself IMO
The reason why I believe Christ truly rose from the dead are a multitude of factors
1. Miraculous accounts of the modern day (Shroud of Turin, Sudarium of Ovadia, Marian apparitions, The holy fire of Jerusalem, 1900's accounts of miracles in Soviet Russia, modern day weeping icons in the Orthodox Church, Eucharistic miracles)
2. The "lie" of Christ's resurrection would have to be planned so far in advance that meticulously the logic would make no sense. 12 out of the 12 apostles would have to give their own lives to a "lie" they supposedly "seen" with their eyes, the people who witnessed the miracles of the apostles in Jerusalem (the thousands who converted) would have to have been lying about their miracles that they personally witnessed, and much more
3. The gospels were really early and were attested to in Paul's epistles (of whom he calls his personal Gospel) and the Pastoral letters (which were written pre 60 AD). If the Gospels were written pre 60 AD and foretold the fall of the second temple in 70 AD, then this is an obvious sign of precognition on the authors' (Matthew, Mark, & Luke) behalf.
4. Philosophical reasons on why Atheism can't be true and God must be an all powerful personal being.
5. The Church conquering rome in 300 years and Constantine the Great (one of the only White European emperors, an illyrian geg) was gifted a vision by Christ foretelling his victory, to which he converted, and the following emperor said "You have won, Gallilean".
6.The historical accounts of Sts Clement of Rome & Irenaeaus, St. Polycarp, Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, and Lucian all attest to how there was a church that existed pre 100 AD and all feel extremely organic.
7. The undesigned coincidences of the 4 gospels line up and paint a clear and coherent picture using seperate details that explain settings/meanings that others don't include and feel extremely organic instead of being a falsehood.
And much more alongside personal faith.
To be honest, I can't really hand something to you to convince yo uthat Christianity is the true religion, as you will always have the ability granted to you by God to decide that if you want to love him or not, but if I were to give you my best pieces of physical evidence it would probably be the history of the early church and how it conquered rome alongside modern day miracles in 1.
