No religion is "right" because all religion is man-made.

Christianity however is a relationship with the awesome uncreated Creator of the universe and it is not man-made. His Word (the Bible from Genesis to Revelation) makes it pretty clear for anyone who wants to be in a right relationship with our heavenly Father.

Jesus Christ was the only person who has ever lived who had his entire biography written before he was ever born. When he walked on this earth claimed to be the Way, the Truth and the Light. If he had not been so he would not have risen from the dead.

But realize that there is a vast difference between knowing God and knowing about God.

Edit - I noticed that Bill below me starts very well and finishes really badly. He talks about False religion and false doctrine but then ends up with recommending the JWs but they are among today's worst spreaders of False Doctrine. They take a bit of what the Bible says and then add in huge amounts of what the Watchtower says. That is how false doctrine comes about.

This shows why it is so very important to read the Bible for oneself.

I attend a Unitarian Universalist Congregation, where they believe that each person has a right and a responsibility to seek his or her own spiritual path. I think that the "right" religion is the one that feels right to you. If personally would also have to eliminate any religion that preaches any kind of violence towards others, or extreme intolerance of other religion. There is so much more tht I could write, but I would encourage you to study more than one religion before deciding. May All that Is Bless You.

Any religion, with or without a god at its head, is "right" if it helps to bring out the best in people - honesty, integrity, love of neighbour, etc. Where some relighions fail is in taking people's CHOICE to do good away. Then men feel powerless and angry and strike out at others who are different from them or less strong. That's why women are kept in an inferior position in Islamic culture - giving the men control over something (which so many seem to need).

They are all right and they are all wrong- our need to find answers to the reasons we exist and reassure ourselves that our lives are meaningful are the only role the invention of religion plays. We all have our unique thoughts and therefore we've invented a myriad of mythologies. Some folks discovered they could control others through fear though and developed great organized efforts to use this control to drive people and society in directions that serve their own purposes.
Think about it and don't be a sheep.
Find your truth, never stop thinking and asking questions.
Stay off of other people's porches!

No religion is right..organised religion is just a money making scheme. What is right is what is between a person and their belief system or God or whatever you wish to call it. All the word church mean is a meeting place. You cant actually think that if say Christianity is right then every buddhist, taoist, moslem etc etc etc is going to go to hell. And vice versa with other religions. If you live your life as a good person I dont see what belonging to a certain meeting place (church) has to do with it at all.

There is no right and wrong religion. It's an individual belief or perspective from where we came from. For an example, somebody asks you a question and it's your own perspective of it. There is not right and wrong in there. And there is no right and wrong in religion as well.
We as the world need to accept and respect other religions, beliefs, and thoughts. And as you can tell we do not and as the result the Civil War, WW1, and WW2.

Religion will send a person to hell. But a personnel relationship with Jesus Christ is the right way to go. Religion has to many man made rules.

I must write this again:

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, " I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

none, all religion is man made and there for flawed. I am a Christian and membered into MCC. I believe much of what they teach and connect to God through their practices. Are they the one right religion? no. Are they the best? For me yes for you maybe maybe not. We are all unique so we need variety for everyone to find a place.

Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.

False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?

False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul of spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?

False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?

How to identify true religion.

True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.

True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible

True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HISH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”

Does any religion meet these standards? The book “Holocaust Polities,” published in 2001, says: “If more people practiced versions of what the Jehovah's Witnesses preach and practice, the Holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more.”
