the Romans just wanted jesus out of their hair.

Thats not true, when Pilate was releasing a prisoner for some reason, he asked the crowd if they wanted Jesus, but they demanded some murderer named Barnabas.
And I believe Pilate wrote "Here lies Jesus, King of the Jews" (Or something like that, describing Jesus as the King of the Jews) despite some protest from the jewsih priests (rabbi's whatever).
Besides, Romans never much cared about religions, and Jesus wasn't causing too much trouble.
