It sure as hell isn't because millions find Christian apologetics compelling. Most people seem to come to Christianity for emotional -- or if you prefer 'spiritual' -- reasons, divorced from whether the story really makes any sense and in spite of the utter lack of good evidence that Yahweh exists. Why does Christianity continue to grow? I suppose for the same reason that Islam continues to grow: many people value meaning (especially if it's comforting) over truth (especially if it's not comforting).
