They didn't barely kill him. He was dead for like a weekend. They killed the witches properly.
Except for the Sanderson sisters. They took a couple tries.

Sounds like a skill issue. If the witches were any good at witching, they wouldnt have died either.
He was mostly dead. Not all dead.
I'M NOT DEAD YET!
NO HE'S NOT DEAD YET
There’s a chocolate for that too… I think.
Aaaaah, look who knows so much

The Salem trials came later. I wonder if there discussion was like Townsperson 1: "So this woman with the wart, should we just nail her to a couple pieces of wood"
Townsperson 2: "Nah man, remember the last guy we did that with. Didn't take"
Townsperson 1: "Riiiight. So, wood, nails, and a bonfire then?"
Townsperson 2: Yeah that should do it"
I mean....its not their fault male magic users are harder to kill.
It wasn't his followers that killed him though. His followers did however torture and kill women.
Ya but I'm pretty sure the witches' followers didn't kill the witches either. Obviously just needed more followers. Clearly, the predominant religion is the one with the most followers willing to kill competing dark arts users. It's basically politics.
They killed him because he pissed off the State, not because magic tricks.
Jesus was killed because he angered the Pharisees (specifically the Priests) by defying their authority and teaching the new covenant. The Romans (aka "the state") were only invested insofar as it would prevent a revolt. Pontius Pilate found no fault in Christ and offered Barrabas instead (a convicted murderer) but the Pharisees would not relent and wanted Jesus crucified. Pilate famously washed his hands of the business because even he knew it was an injustice.
Pharisees specifically weren't the priests. They were one of the branches of judaism who didn't think temple was necessary for proper worship (which is why they became the predominant branch after the destruction of the temple and rabbinic judaism stems from them), while temple was where priests worked and performed their rites. If you open your Bible to any of the four gospels, you will find that they say it was the priests who brought Jesus to Pilate.
Also, you shouldn't take gospels at their word for what they say about Pilate as they insert their theological concerns into Pilate's judgement. If you read Josephus, he clearly states Pilate condemns Jesus for claiming to be a king, ie. for political uprising, and even Mark, the earliest of gospels, doesn't state that Pilate didn't think Jesus guilty, unlike the other three.
