Christainity's longevity as an argument for it's veracity [View all]

I have seen the argument that if Christianity did not contain truth, how could it last for 2000 years.
But those that claim this never address that the Egyptian gods were worshiped for over 2000 years, the Greek gods for more than that and the Hindu gods for 4000 years and counting. (dates are hard to pin down, but this is more or less the estimates)
The length of time a religion remains viable doesn't appear to me to have anything to do with the basis of it's beliefs.
