Christianity is the only religion that is based on historical fact. The fact that we have the Bible at all is a pretty large evidence that it is true. The reason I say this is because the Bible not only talks about incredible miracles, but it was written in the time that they were supposed to happen, and was first distributed amongst those that supposedly witnessed these events. The Bible would have been immediately discarded if these events did not actually happen. However, the one piece of evidence that truly says that Christianity is the only true religion is the fact that Jesus rose from the grave. Hundreds of witnesses saw him after he rose from the dead, and many witnessed him ascend into heaven. Most of his disciples died for their beliefs, having numerous chances to save their own lives. If what they were saying was a lie, these people would have KNOWN that it was a lie. People don't die for a lie that they know to be a lie.

All religions are created by people, and thus are inherently flawed, like governments. Not to say religion isn't a great thing for a lot of people, but it's not the place to find the most "accurate" or "perfect" explanation of all levels of being.
Religions are beliefs, and as such are not governed by things such as "accuracy" or "logic", they are based on faith. It makes things very simple, you believe it or you don't.
My advice....explore the world, check out various religions, and come up with your own ideas about what God is and what happens when we die. Who is to say what religion is the "true" one besides God himself.
(and if you start hearing from him it probably means you forgot to take your meds)

ALL "religion" is man invented... they are all false... only those who come to God in The Way He proscribes will ever have the oportunity to know The Truth. No man invented doctrins or dogma will lead anyone to God.
There is only one"Church" with no man invented "religion" involved... That is The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head. And only God can decree you to be a member of The Church.
I know this to be The Truth from The Truth of my Salvation and God's promise to me that my Salvation is secure for all of eternity.
I am part of The Body of The Church.

All, and none. There's no such thing as an "accurate" religion, because no one truly knows how we got here, and what's going to happen to us after we die. Which is why fighting wars over religions is silly.

In my opinion, none. Bibles are written by humans, and I don't feel any one of them is more "accurate" than another.
But this answer will be different for everyone. I make no judgements upon those who choose to follow a particular faith. I simply choose not to.

No particular religion or denomination, just the faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. In the new testament, it states that this faith is the "rock" or foundation upon which the true church should be built.

Atheism - we utilize common sense to wade through the ludicrous claims made by most religions, and maintain an open mind to discover the truth for ourselves about the universe and its many unsolved mysteries.

Well, I say Christianity, because it is the most logical religion....
All of the other religions, believe in working their own way to a higher power, by preforming rituals and good works...
Christianity, however, is the only religion that teaches that salvation is not obtained, it is the gift of God, via His Son, It is a choice to recieve it or not; to accept Christ or not... and that anyone that recieves Christ can know and have a personal relationship with God. God loves us as His children... He gave man a book...
here is why the Bible is not a man inspired book...
"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you."- Matthew 5:44
No other religion will go so far as to suggest that you should love even your enemies... Man's natural tendency is to strive what that he can do for himself, not others... that is why the Bible is ordained by God.
The Bible is not a science book, but it never conflicts science...
the Bible says the world is a circle indicating roundness, or in the Hebrew term sphere, and that it hangs on nothing....this was thousands of years before man descovered either one of those things for himself.
"He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing."-Job 26:7 written over 3,000 years ago.
"It is He that sits upon the circle of the earth..."- Isaiah 40:22 written thousands of years before people of Columbus' day were aware of a global earth, they thought it was flat...
And in medical terms the Bible is not a biology book, but makes statements of the body, that were only descovered within the last 200 years...
"The life of the flesh is in the blood"-Leviticus 17:11
You say "duhh.. everyone knows that." well through modern technology we do... this passage of scripture was written 3,500 years ago...
Man did not know what the purpose of blood was, out of medical ignorance... President George Washington was killed from the common practice of blood letting, a common idea from the midevil period.... they thought that the blood gets bad and that it must be removed, how ignorant they were...
Hebrews 1:2 says that "By His Son...He (God) made the worlds." Worlds as in plural... when the book of Hebrews was written, there were no teliscopes with which you could see other planets... with the human eye all that one can see are lights in the sky
"In multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore."- Genesis 22:17 basically the stars are as innumberable as the sand
Ancient man always thought that there were a few hundred stars. People with good eyesight today can see 5,000 stars from northern and southern hemisheres...now with our super telescopes we can see millions of them... but there are untold millions more that we cannot see.
could ancient man alone, by a religion of his own creation, know this.... not without God
The law of thermodynamics, which also refutes evolution... teaches that the universe did not create itself, and that the universe is slowly headed towards more and more disorder, entropy....
"Of old Thou hast laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they will be changed."-Psalm 102:25, 26
Isn't space and time considered to be a fabric? Slowly fading into infinity? As Einstien put it. This is probably where he got the idea from of modern science
But the Bible was true in its statements...
However with other religion's books, they are not so scientifically acurate...
Buddism teaches that the uinverse had no begining...
the Islamic Qur'an teaches the world is flat...
the Catholic church, (currupted by men and politics) taught that the sun revolved around the earth...
All unscientific and unBiblical ideas...
So on a scientific standpoint Christianity takes the cake.
And on the promise of salvation and instruction of doing good above and beyond to others... Biblical Christianity wins.
And on the basis of choice rather than endless good deeds in an invain atempt to earn paradise.... Christianity is the best...
And basically overall Christianity is the best... but it is not in the joining of a church or in the CHristian crosses do you find salvation....
With Christians it is all about accepting Christ and trying to reflect Him =, as the moon reflects the sun, we Christians should reflect the Son...
God bless you and yours...

there is no one perfect, accurate religion, because people are different.
diferent people have to find what works for them.
the one thing that is accurate about any true religion is that it teaches love, compassion and wisdom, for everyone---- and that is what all the religions teach, anyone who takes their religion and teaches or preaches otherwise is not practicing religion, they are confused or mis-lead or maybe even crazy and you cannot practice properly if you cannot free your mind.
