There is controversy on where exactly Jesus was born (according to the bible). It is not a straight forward statement. The problem is, there are two conflicting stories. If you believe the bible is the unerring word of the Source of All Things then you must rectify those two conflicting stories. Rectification requires you choose one, and Nazareth (because one story is slighly easier to interpret) is the easiest choice.
I won't link any of the scholarly sources on that, because no one who "Believes" will look (you already know the truth, and anyone who questions your truth is a liar and of Satan), but there are a ton of sources if you are interested. A simple scholarly article search (or even youtube search) will net thousands of examples of the controversy if you are interested.
