Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

How is it that Paul's letters survived?

Dawn

Paul's letters didn't survive, we've four different authors for the Pauline epistles, none of whom can be convincingly linked with the original Saul of Tarsus.

Romans, 1&2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon are authentic Paul.   The name "Saul" was an invention of the author of Acts to burnish his Jewish cred.  The author who forged 2 Thessalonians had the balls to say beware of forgeries like 1 Thessalonians, but that was to throw people off the scent of his own forgery, sort of like when Lindsey Graham votes against LGBT issues.
