Right religion?
One where all members have the equal of a Bible College level knowledge of the Bible;
One where all regular members are trained ministers, both men and women;
Where children are taught the whole Bible by their parents, and not sent to Sunday school to learn stories;
Where people are baptized because they are ready to dedicate their lives to God and Christ, and not simply as a show;
Where children are not baptized, because they lack the knowledge or the ability to make an informed decision to dedicate their lives to God and Christ;
Where congregations are never so large that the individual gets lost in the crowd;
Where every head of household in good standing is qualified to lead a new congregation;
Where every no one needs to be paid to lead, because anyone can lead;
Where they don’t have to pass the plate, or rely on church owned retail businesses to cover costs;
Where you can go from one church to another, in any country, and find the same teachings;
Where conferences include everyone in the religion, anywhere in the world, and not just the elite;

I don't think anyone can prove that their religion is the right one- maybe just the right one for them. I'm Catholic, always have been, always will be. I have friends that hop around from church to church looking for the 'right' one, they think that they have found it but then a couple of months or years go by and they are searching for the 'right' church again.
I believe with my whole heart in the Roman Catholic faith. I love the traditions and rituals that to others seem meaningless and 'pagan'.
I love being able to receive Christ in the most Blessed Sacrament every week, every day if I want. The list goes on.
Some people will always be searching for the 'right' church. I've found mine.

I base my faith on the historicity of the Resurrection. If Jesus being was truly raised from the dead, it would be a monumental event. Since no one has seen someone come back from the dead after being dead two nights, this would be a singular event and worthy of note. (If it happened.)
History records that with in a few years of Jesus's death, there were churches all over the Mediterranean. This was spread by people preaching that Jesus had been risen. That was the primary message, that death had been conquered and atonement for sins had been given.
The early apostles believed that the Resurrection has occurred, and that Jesus was bodily risen from the dead. They preached that they had actually seen the risen Jesus and went to death for this belief. If it was a lie, someone would have recanted, yet no one did.
In short Christianity is based on an historical event, not a personality or system of beliefs.

All religions are "right" in that they are true religions. Is that what you meant? Or were you asking which religions contained "the Truth" and "way" to heaven? It that is the case, then Christianity is the only answer. The other religions believe that Jesus was a great prophet and that people need to listen to and heed his teachings. In his teachings, Jesus said that no one gets into heaven by any other way, but only be belief and trust in him as the One and Only true Son of God and Redeemer of mankind from the spiritual death brought on by sin. Now, since this statement is an accurate summation of Jesus, how can one say that s/he believes in Jesus as a great prophet whose teachings should be followed and leave out the part where He says that there in no other way but Him. How can mere man decide which words of a true and great prophet is holy and should be followed and which aren't? Of course no one can. So, either Jesus is who he said he was, completely and in totality, or he is one of the biggest liars in the world. One can't say that he was a great prophet and no accept his deity as God's only Son and Redeemer. Its all or nothing...a follower and obeyer of Christ, or not.

there is no right religion, just because a person claims to be christian or pagan or whatever else doesn't mean its right, religion CAN not and WILL not get u into heaven, only accepting Jesus as your saviour will, u can worship God at home and never step foot in a church and still go to heaven

Are you asserting that incidents like in inquisition, the crusades, witch trials and so on and so on (to call in easy terms a number of the non-contested ones) symbolize undesirable end results of Christianity?

Aw, honey, there is no right religion. There is only right relationship with God, through His Son, giving Pardon for our Sin, and Eternal Life. Who wouldn't WANT that?

The right religion is the one that speaks to you. You need to discover it for yourself. No one else can tell you what to believe.
