The only "true" religion is agnostic, because we will never know if god exists or not.

# How do I know which religion is right?
1. This is a difficult question to answer because it involves discussing some principles that the person you are witnessing to may or may not agree with. For example, does he or she agree with you that truth is knowable, that God would attempt to communicate with His people, or that only one religion may be right? Usually, I start by acknowledging the difficulty of coming to an easy answer. However, I tell them that I do have an answer; I am sure it is the right one, because it is an answer based on evidence. What kind of evidence? Prophecy and its fulfillment (see question # 34), Jesus and His miracles, the resurrection of Christ, etc. Then I ask that person if he or she knows of these things happening in other religions.(1) The answer is invariably, "No." Then I point out that they have only happened in Christianity. If any religion were true, Christianity fits the bill.
# Religion is whatever you feel is right.
1. How do you know what you feel is right? Haven't your feelings ever turned out to be wrong? Are you are saying that what you feel determines truth? If so, then you are putting yourself in the place of God, and looking to yourself for what you "feel" is right.
2. If religion is whatever you feel is right, then that could lead to chaos. What if some people had a religion where they felt stealing was acceptable? And what about lying and cheating? Would you trust someone who believed in a religion that felt it was all right to steal, lie, and cheat?
3. Hitler felt killing Jews was right. He was wrong. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful and untrustworthy (Jer. 17:9). If you could come to know truth by what you felt, then the Bible, which is the revelation of God, didn't need to be written. But it has been written, and it has revealed that only God is the Source of truth, not your feelings.
4. I've never known truth to contradict itself. What if someone felt that something was right, and another person felt it was wrong? Would they both be right? If your statement is true, then how could there be a contradiction like that, if feelings determined truth?
# All religions are different paths to the same place.
1. If all religions are different paths to the same place, then why do the paths contradict each other? Does truth contradict itself? Let's review the teachings of just three religions:
2. Buddhism is pantheistic and says there is no personal God and everyone can reach "godlikeness" on his own. Islam says that Jesus was just a prophet, and not the only way to God. Christianity says that there is a personal God, and that the only way to Him is through Jesus (John 14:6). If these three religions are, as you say, different paths to the same place, then why do they contradict each other? Does truth contradict itself?

No one religion is "right" or "wrong," only people. Whether or not others believe what you believe does NOT effect whether or not your beliefs are valid. All that really matters is finding the faith which best suits your beliefs. And just because many people, almost exclusively followers of Western religions such as Christianity, think that any belief system differing from their own is wrong does NOT make then right. Believe it or not, there are many faiths, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Paganism, etc. which hold that there is nothing wrong with believing something other than what they do, and aren't narrow-minded enough to condemn others for having a mind of their own.
....And by the way, Jesus is definitely not the only religious figure to transcend death, as one response claimed. And he was far from the first. I could cite a dozen such figures throughout history.

One that does not discriminate, cause war, lend to having something someone who does not believe does not have, and one that was not created by man.
So, I would say that Buddhism is the closest form of an organized belief system that the whole world could use to live in peace. All others, unfortunately would not hold up. Has history not tested this truth?

Unlike all other religions, Christianity alone possesses a founder who transcends death and who promises that His followers will do the same. All other (false) religions were founded by men and prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we take comfort in the fact that our God became man, died for our sins, was killed, and was resurrected the third day. The grave could not hold Him. He lives and He sits today at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. The living church has a living Head.

The one that leads YOU, the individual, to lead your life out of love, to shun fear and suffering, to help others, and to become a better person.
Only you can decide for yourself which religion is the best for you.

I only know that my relationship with my Lord, Jesus Christ is correct. Religion is man's way of trying to reach God. Relationship is God's way of reaching us, through Jesus Christ.
Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
There is only one true God. The living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. His Son, Jesus Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Hope that helps!
