If you a re a christian, what makes Christianity better than Islam?
If you are a protestant, what makes your brand of Christianity better than let's say mormanism or catholisism?

The answer is that ALL religions are wrong. Read Richard Dawkins' new book "The God Delusion" and you'll see exactly what I mean. Let's just hope that if there is a TRUE religion (not likely), it is not Islam. If so we're all screwed, including the Islamics.

As for the different brands of Christianity, Christ said that there would be ones who claim to speak in his name, so he knew there would be religions that do not have the blessings of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul began seeing congregations slipping away from the strict adherence of the teachings of Christ, even in his time. He said that he felt like he had worked so hard for nothing.
The Bible refers to organized religion as the Great Babylon, which will be destroyed by the Beast (Nations of the World).
What you have to figure out is whether your religion is one of those that Paul was talking about, and whether it is a part of Babylon. Does it adhere strictly to the teachings of Christ and God, or do they ignore the more inconvenient ones? Does it promote man made holidays and observances?
The biggest question to ask is what day do they observe the Memorial on? Only those who truly follow Christ know this, observe it only on that day, and not observe other holidays not found in the Bible.
Other than that, does everyone in the Church have an equal knowledge of the Bible, or is it just the elite? Is everyone taught to be a minister, both men and women? Do the adults study the whole Bible with their children, or are they sent off to Sunday School to learn just Bible stories? Children may not understand all the teachings of the Bible, but than they didn't fully understand why 1+1=2, in the beginning. Only through repetition did they learn it.
Are all heads of households, in good standing, qualified to lead the congregation, or a new one, so that instead of constantly increasing the size of the building, the congregation can be split when it exceeds 200 active members?
Not every church is in keeping with the teachings of Christ, and Christ did not say to just follow some of them.

Good question. I know that as a Christian there is only one way to heaven and that is through Christ Jesus. I know that when Pastor Skepple preaches and is teaching us something, I can find it in the Bible. In the Bible God says to put Him through the test, I have and He has always come through.
So what religion is more "Right"? None; All. My advice is to Ask God wholeheartedly, keep an open mind and He will answer you.
P.S. You may not like the answer.

Since I don't follow "religion", I follow Christ. What makes it better? I have peace, hope, joy, miracles, and I know where I am going. I know that no matter what problems arise, the Lord will make a path for me to follow. All the other "religions" don't have this at all.

It doesn't. No religion is right. There are no gods.
Religions use emotional arguments to get and keep converts. They become emotionally attached to their religion, and they are taught that those not in their religion are lesser than them. They'll cling to little artifacts of their religion to "prove" that their religion is better than another.
