There is no such thing as a right Religion, But there is only one True way to Heaven. You must be saved by the Grace of God. Many people have religion, But don't know the Lord.

Don't confuse religion with Christianity as they are worlds apart. Jesus didn't come to establish a religion but rather to establish a relationship between man and god. Jesus said that he was the way, the truth and the life. He also said that we would know the truth and the truth would make us free. Note here that error will not make us free. The truth is to be found in the word of God (Bible) I always recommend that a person follows the word of God and then looks for a "religion" which is the closest to the teaching in the Bible. I am a Baptist however Jesus didn't have any tag on his sleeve to identify himself with any religion and I still stick to the teachings of the Bible even though I attend a Baptist Church. I would rather be known as a Christian and not a Baptist.

I'm an Atheist. I think no-religion is better than any-religion because we have a very wide set of world views to adopt. We can be liberal, conservative, communist or capitalist and it wouldn't interfere with any "absolute or divine" ideal. The lack of stress with trying to judge people by an "absolute standard" and the loss of having to deal with "after-life issues" is a bonus. I don't think others religions are "wrong" per-se. I think most people interpret there religions wrong, and that's where most of our problems come from. With Atheism, there is nothing to interpret; "There is no god, everything else is up to you."

It's not an issue of right or wrong. There are many religions that have good rules for society, philosophy of living, rituals of relaxation and getting "in-tune". But no religion can gain you a personal relationship with God,100% assurance of eternal life, or prove it's holy book or writings are from the eternal God, except one--Christianity. Not only can it provide and prove the above, but even the One we follow stated without reservation or ambiguity that He was the only way, the only truth, and the only source of life.
John 14:6
[Jesus said,] "I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man cometh unto the father, but by me".
Acts 4:12
[Peter stated about Jesus,] "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
1 John 2:23
[Jesus said,] "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."
Romans 5:21
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 John 5:11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
John 3:16-18
[Jesus said,]"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Because some people believe that they are religious but they miss the whole point and treat their religion as if it is a football team. They will go to hell first, because it is worse than being an atheist.

There is no such thing as a bad religion. Everyone has right to believe and follow God's commandments. Only God and Jesus Christ know the right religion and no one will know until they die.

I think my religion is right, but don't easily think that others are wrong. I have a criteria for right or wrong--The Ten Commandments.

When I ask questions that are confusing to me, I find the answers in my religion which makes me a stronger believer in my religion. God guides those who look for the truth in things...You always find the truth in God.

Yes, my religion is the only one that is correct. All others will be denied the tasty virgins! To do my part, I've taken a soldering iron to the bottom of my sneakers. Now I can walk around town leaving foot long caricatures of Muhammed everywhere I go: (I have one sad and one Happy)
