Christianity is popular because it started off with a gullible ignorant base who were easy to brainwash.
Is proselytizing in nature, and has set up a good central authoritative structure to keep it updated from time to time.
Got backing from politicians who wanted to be that central authority and in charge of the brainwashing aspect, instead of the multitudes of priests of older polytheistic religions.
Eastern religions like Hinduism lose out because
They are generally non-proselytizing
They don't have much of a central authority to keep up with the changing times (Buddhism does have a central authority figure, and that's why it's still able to maintain it's base, but it's still not as frequently updated or reinterpreted as Christianity so it isn't expanding much)
Due to the above, there's lot less financial backing from the politicians (though that is changing quite fast nowadays)
