The only way to truly answer this question is with your own conscience. There are so many kinds of people out there that one faith cannot meet everyone's needs. In the end, it comes down to a few questions:
Does this faith help you grow as a person? Does it encourage this personal growth?
Does this faith make you want to help others and generally behave better, making the world a better place?
Does this faith give you comfort when you need it?
How do other members of this faith treat you? Are they supportive, or do they make you feel bad or guilty? Are you better with groups or alone? This all can make a big difference.
If the answers to these questions are yes, you are on the right track. Everybody likes to say they know the right faith, that theirs is best, and yes it is... for them. It can be a long journey when you are lookiing for just the right faith for you. Keep your mind open but also retain your ability to think and reason, listen with both your head and your heart and you'll have a better chance of finding just the right one.

Being an advocate and practitioner of many faiths in my past i believe i can help ya out:
If you are searching for the true faith: Ask "The Truth" or God to reveal Himself to you.
If you are searching for comfort: then whatever makes you comfortable and is within your values should work fine for you.
In this age of mediocrity and social ignorance "Truth has been diluted with pleasure and comfort". Dont be a fool to not recognize this.
Look within your heart first to see what you truly want... this will take a bit of time and self patience. Once you find this you can venture out and discover what you really need.
If you want my opinion on what religion is right... There is no religion that is right. Instead: HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, is the closest thing to the right thing I have discovered. And I have found out that it is only possible through His Son Jesus. Hope this helps ya out... Peace out Bro!

If there were an answer to that question, there wouldn't be so many churches in the world. The answer is not in religion. Why do people find it necessary to get together and decide what beliefs the group has as a whole? Everyone has the power within themselves to experience what is true for themselves.

I know Picoism is right for me because it's the only religion I've found that accepts any possibility. Some may call it a false religion but it's true for me.

You never do--you have to convince yourself that it is---& then you have to pick the right tribe within that faith.Take Christianity for example---it now has thousands of different sects & keeps on fragmenting into more & more splinter tribes every year--some with no tolerance for the others!!.
In the end perhaps it's better to take Christ's advice--& find God within yourself.

Search the Bible and see for yourself whether your beliefs match it. It is actually a command in the Bible that you do so (1 Thessalonians 5:21 and others). If there are differences between what it says and your faith, chnge your beliefs to match the Bible.

If your faith connects you with peace, with love of self and others, and with the awe and wonder of creation...then it is the right faith.
