Think about all the other religions... not just those in the world today, which are many, but those which have come and gone. They are only "real" while there are people who believe in them. As soon as that stops, it crumbles and disappears. Yet people will swear their religion is true, and have done in the past. The same is true of Christianity. If indoctrination stopped for just one or two generations, I believe it would evaporate.
The chances of any particular religion being right are one in infinity, given that there's any number of possible ones that haven't yet been "discovered" (made up). Christianity just happened to be the popular one in a certain area, and was efficient at spreading itself. Nothing more. It has no more evidence that it is real than any other religion, or indeed, any other made-up concept you could imagine.
It does, however, have lots of evidence that it in fact isn't true at all. Number one, the bible. It's the #1 book for creating atheists. Christianity does well because people on the whole don't actually read it from start to finish.
If there is a god, it is not one of the ridiculous extremely humanoid characters in ignorant old books.
