tuberoot: As nobody knows God it sort of spoils the whole premise of your answer.

sydney: No a relationship is a two-way thing between persons or creatures who know each other, nobody can say they know anything of God or even if God exists so it cannot be a relationship.

A hypothesis (from Greek ὑπόθεσις) consists either of a suggested explanation for a phenomenon or of a reasoned proposal suggesting a possible correlation between multiple phenomena. The term derives from the Greek, hypotithenai meaning "to put under" or "to suppose."
Christianity can be considered to be a hypothesis, but falls short of what would be called a scientific hypothesis, since its claims cannot be tested.

For those who don't know God it is. For those who know Him and have the Holy Spirit it's a proven fact. The difference is huge, but when the Holy Spirit baptizes someone, they no longer have to wonder. The event is referred to by Jesus in John 4:
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
So God holds onto the proof. People have to go to Him to get it.

Nope, there is evidence of Christianity all over the place.
Denying that Christianity exists, is like saying Christmas does not exist, yet I dare anyone to go to the mall from Halloween to Christmas and not see the evidence supporting it's existence.
There are physical structures that show Christianity exists, there are books, there are bumper stickers, there are t-shorts with slogans, for a person to not believe that Christianity exists, is for that person to deny that gravity exists!

Christianity is a relationship between you and God. period.
It's not a religion or a hypothesis or a theory.
It's a relationship.

No.
A hypothesis has at least some evidence to give it credibility. Also, hypothesises can be tested.
How does one test, "God did it?"

Not at all. Christianity is real.

Look at the pie chart on this page.

You will see that 32% of the world's population is Christian.
