Sure, I agree that Christianity is concerned with solving spiritual problems, like sin and hell. But given that these are spiritual problems, internal to Christianity, you already have to believe in Christianity to some degree to accept them. I'm sure most atheists don't go around thinking about original sin in their daily lives.
In other words, these are not the reasons why people come to believe in Christianity, these are things that follow once there is such a beliefs.
