is Christianity the true religion?

[Darkstar]

Christianity it the worlds number one religion,beating out one of the oldest religions(Hinduism). Why is that if it's not the most credible?

this is an honest question and I'm generally curious.

Think of it this way: how many people are born into a religion, and stay with it as opposed to how many are raised agnostic and then allowed to personally examine the evidence for themselves before making a choice (or remaining agnostic)? Most people are born into their religions; lots of people passing on their (often unexamined) beliefs doesn't make those beliefs credible.

Now, if we were talking about scientists, they come to conclusions based on empirical evidence, rather than personal feelings, giving scientific consensus much more weight.
