Freud asked this question to his patients and commonly received three answers. What is the reason you believe your belief system is more correct than all the others. Is it just because your care-givers believed it (ie you were brain-washed from a young age) or have you put some thought into it?

What is your understanding of "Religion."
To me "Right Religion" is how one conducts (behaves) ones self. A Jew, Budddist, Hindu, Muslim, Bahia, Christian, Animist, Taoist, Pagan, Deist, Theist or Atheist are practicing the Right Religion if they "Treat others as they would want to be treated." This is fundamental and as such is necessary for Human survival and Peaceful coexistence. Survival of the species is the first law of nature. Civilization without civil behaviour is not civil.
Free-Thinking, Analyzing, Questioning is all part of the adventure of finding the answers. We have our own individual paths that apply sometimes to others, but always to the individual self.
What is right for me is right for me, not to be imposed on anyone else. If I am mistaken, I can correct the mistake for myself. Perspectives change as we develop. The ways in which we process knowledge should change as we develop. We are babies still learning, applying what we know, think we know, or what we do not know, to any given situation.

I have numerous instances where prayer was answered as proof that I have a good relationship with God. That indicates my beliefs are in line with Gods teachings or He wouldn't be answering my humble prayers. As far as my beliefs being accurate, I keep an open mind to that. I am wise enough to know that I may never completely understand everything in the bible and so that leaves the possibility I may have been in error about something in the past. Only by being open to new ideas can I be certain I am not stuck in an erroneous mindset. When someone presents an issue to me, I do not attempt to prove it wrong according to my present beliefs. I attempt to prove it correct according to Gods word. If it proves true and is counter to my beliefs I have to change. I want to know the truth, not just to think I am right and all others are wrong.

I know it's the truth because I've diligently studied the Bible for many years now and have proved it to myself.
Also, by comparing the teachings of other religions to God's holy word, I have found them all to be false in one way or another.

Religion and faith are apples and grapes compared! One does not have to have a religion to have faith in God, The Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit!
Submission to God does not require religion. Religions are man made, and those who made them become millionaires from it!
Many things we do not see, and learned the fact of theirs existence. God is like this.
Some say, they never saw His face, but those, who lived in the time of Jesus, they saw the face of God. When they asked him, how the Father look like, He answered: "When you see me, you see the father!"
And we are now in such a chaotic world, that might in short time we will see Him face to face!

Enlightenment is not religion, and you are right about brain wash.
Washing brain with pure thought could be enlightening.
However, enlightened person is pure light and this light is not bulb light nether sun light is light of if you will light of God.

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend I have ever had, as He has kept me happy all these years!

I believe it because I experience it personally, found God in it, and that's my decision without the influence of others.

Western civilization, or most of it, is addicted to being right, to righteousness.
That's just my humble (and hypocritical) opinion. Believe what you want.
