What if some of the religions are right? Then what do we do? Is it wrong to believe what they believe with your own beliefs also?

I don't think other religions are "wrong". They are just different. I firmly believe we are worship our versions of God in different ways. I don't think a merciful God will banish a Islamic who lived a Christian-like life to hell just because this person called Him Allah and worship Him differently than Christians.
You don't actually have to believe the way they do. You should respect their ways is all.

We don't know anything about other religions really. You can't even know much about other Christians. I think it is good to study other faiths but following only one is wise. If i am driving north in Vermont , a New Hampshire road map will likely get me lost. I can reach Canada driving north in either state, but i must follow the directions that make sense for where i am and what i really need to know if i wish to get where i want to be. Similarly following one religion does not make other faiths illegitimate, just different. It is the best analogy i could invent on the fly but i hope it helps you. I am also not implying Canada is Heaven. I live close enough to the Canadian border to know better, although with our current president i can see why some people might be thinking about living there.

"I am the door, all others are thieves and robbers..." "Either Jesus is who He said He is or He is a megalomaniac with the brain of a fried egg." C. S Lewis. For myself I have found truth in Him. I tried a lot of other religions and stuff: but never found forgiveness of SIN with any other religion. I have a personal relationship with Him, I know Him He knows me and He walks and talks with me. I know Him to be as real as my wife.
Some of the ideas of other religions are not necessarily wrong, they just come with all the other garbage. If I open myself up to x ist ideas, I open myself up to the spirit behind the idol of x religion. So I choose not to allow other spirits to enter into me, nor do I entertain them.

There is only one religion that is true. The Bible teaches one faith, one baptism and one Lord. Only one can be true with Christ at its head. We can know through inquiring to God about the validity of the different religions. We can also study them to gain more knowledge about them and thus help weed out the posers.

They're not "wrong," they're just making decisions without all the information. It's like visiting a city without researching what to do there, or trying to make a recipe without all the right ingredients -- neither is really "wrong," just kind of a waste of time..... They'll be given ample opportunity to know Christ when He returns, and we will see then all in Paradise!

Many other religions are about seeking truth. Buddha said when he died, "I am still seeking truth". Jesus says I am the way, I am the truth, I am the light.

Unfortunately your faith believes that no matter how good you are, unless you believe in your savior, you are doomed
People like Ghandi will die just like child molesters and Hitler
