No religion is the correct one. To call one religion correct and another not correct would cause massive divisions in communities and inevitably war.
Everyone is entitled to believe in what they perceive to be correct. To force any belief on anyone is evil. To make someone fear the choice not to believe is evil.
If more people had this frame of mind, the world would be a safer, happier place.

There is no correct religion. The scriptures of every religion teach the same moral precepts, and the same basic truth. The only differences are in application, and the level at which one can advance spiritually. Some religions are very limited in philosophical and scientific knowledge. Therefore, the followers can follow instructions, perform penances, and develop good qualities. Other religions are more advanced, and the followers can develop regulated behavior and self-realization, and begin the process of enlightenment. Still others are advanced to such an extent that one can become completely conscious of God, and develop pure Love of God.
In any case, religion is simply the system by which one can gradually develop God consciousness. Whichever religion one chooses, that is the level of advancement they are capable of attaining. It is therefore a waste of time to compare religions, since all of them have the same ultimate goal; God.

There is no way to tell...
Every religion claims to have found the ultimate truth and that all other religions are flawed....that's why we have so many world religions. If one group had, indeed, found the answer then all other religions would ultimately fail.
We have religion as a means to search for an ultimate truth, all of the answers in life. Since we obviously don't have all of the answers, we have several different means of governing ourselves and discovering the "absolute truth". We could sit here all day and banter back and forth about whose religion is correct but in the end, you're always going to have conflicting opinions because the bottom line is...we just don't know.
I choose to follow one specific religion that governs my life but do I necessarily believe that this is the only religion that holds some truth in this entire universe, no way....I'm a lot smarter than that.

RELIGION? What is meant by this word "religion"?
Etymologically, religion means worship. And many people admire what they think is the correct worship.
One must belong and must be practicing the correct cult or religion to attain true existence. Do you think life will just sprout here on earth and then vanish like a smoke? Men are trained here, afterwards those who have the capacity to live in eternity (those who are not destructive, those who are not deceivers, those who are not pretenders, and those who pleased the Ultimate Cause of Existence) will really live there.
So the correct religion is what Jesus Christ taught and what people, who are ignorant of the Bible, do but pleased God the Father and practice the Christian Doctrine.

I believe that people should think religion as guidelines and something for you to enjoy and help you. Like the words of Jesus "the sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath(holy day)" I'm catholic but I don't understand things like the trinity, and there are many things that I believe in that is part of the religion and also not part, things like reincarnation, even maybe another level of existence and evolution. People should not take religion so seriously and not carry out acts that are wrong in the name of religion. People should also try not to think that there religion is the right one as each religion have there own beliefs and explanations that people relate to and people should not force religion onto those who don't want it or don't understand it.

The correct religion is the one that is right for you. One fact remains true today and has not changed over the ages. All religions of the world have always been in agreement, that is, that theirs is the one true religion. The truth is that one should pick a religion that gives them spiritual comfort and satisfies their needs and leave others to their own choices.

Religion of today is wrought with beaucratic wants to survive and perpetuation is the way it ensures its life.
For me, "God is ALL-Knowing" explains the beginning and the end.
If I really wanted to, I could begin a religous movement based on that philosophy. But I wouldn't get very far because my sermons would be exactly the same, and they would be one sentence. But I like this philosophy (you should see the thumbs down I get for "God is All-Knowing" which always makes me ask, "How is the person giving the thumbsdown to this simple idea going to be explained to God Himself???). It is a philosophy that explains everything and is not controversial, contradictory, nor leaves all that much to conjecture, ritual or hypocracy.
It is safe. No one should be getting killed, hurt, maimed, tortured on sticks, burned at the stake, or drawn and quartered over it.
But what do I know, 98% of the people on this planet are stupid, and the other 2% haven't reached puberty!

This question can not be answered correctly. Every individual will say their religion is the correct religion. Of course a Baptist believer will not tell you the Catholic faith is the best and correct religion. My point being is anyone who is interested in obtaining a religion and living it as a lifestyle should most definitely study all religions and make the choice him or herself. I personally am a Church of God believer. I believe the Holy Bible, everything in it, front to back...all chapters. I don't believe in leaving out parts of the bible. Hope this helps.

All religions are equally valid as each are as valid as those folk who attend.
All Beings are valid and have a right to exist, all Beings have a right to feel part of a community and all Beings have a right to their happiness, all these things are valid for their religion will provide it..

The one willing to do the most horrific thing to the individual human in the name of God.
All others will eventually fall short of that and wither on the vine, when push comes to shove. So if you want to be religious and want to be with the winners, join the muslims. Other wise reconsider what you are ultimately supporting, death.
