I'm Jewish and am just curious of everyone's thoughts. By allowing everyone else who isn't Christian to practice their religions and not interfier, do you pretty much think that they're doing everything wrong and praying to a God that doesn't even exist? And if so, do you think they look at you this way?
Besides saying something like, "When I let Jesus into my life, everything changed," how does anyone know that their religion is correct?
There is really no true proof of any religion. Nothing that is (I guess you could say) scientifically accepted.

To answer your main question- Yes.
It is only logical. Whoever answers "No" is just trying to be "polite".

I am Wiccan. My religion, my spiritual path, is right for me. But you do raise a good question if in fact anyone can quantify religion. If, in fact, one specific path is closer to the Divine Intelligence that runs this Universe. Personally, I do not believe this is true. Reason? Everyone is different, and everyone is not at the same stage of spiritual development. Consequently, what will resonate with one will not resonate with another.
Every religion has something beautiful to say about the human condition. It's only when one group thinks they are better than another that we descend into war and genocide. The irony being war and genocide is diametrically opposed to the fundamental teachings of all religions.
It's not a matter of what's right and what's wrong. It's a matter of what fits for the specific person seeking a means of expressing their spiritual nature.

Faith is Central to Christianity. You read the Bible, listen to other testimony, watch how people live life as a Christian and then you accept by faith or reject Jesus. Science is never going to prove God to anyone. No one would follow a faith they felt was wrong. I believe in the Bible and what Jesus stands for, but everyone has to decide what they believe for themselves. Real true faith cannot be forced on anyone.

I don't believe in "religion." I believe in a spiritual way of life that has no label. Being jewish, you should understand that we are to follow Gods word as close as possible. Though I don't follow all your traditions, I do follow that rule. Isn't that enough? What ever The bible teaches, I do my best to follow it.

All "religions" as you say have one thing in common, except one, Christianity. The religions of the world are based on principals believing they can work their way to Heaven. Jesus is the only one who rose from the grave to everlasting life.
Romans 3:21-23 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
John 14:6 And Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved, through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not by works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
You say you are a Jew and it is my understanding that the Jews hold the Old Testament to be truth. Here is what I have found of God. You know in your heart it is true. When Moses asked the LORD who he should say sent him to the children of Israel, here is God's answer..
Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and ha said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Deuteronomy 3:24 O LORD GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy might?
There is only one God and one way to our Father in Heaven, and that is through our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
All other religions worship gods made by the hands of man who can neither hear nor speak. Tell yourself this, which God do you want to worship? The God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, or the god who was made by man and can do nothing?
You know the truth. Ask God to forgive you of any doubts and all sin and believe on the name of Jesus. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

i believe in the blood of Jesus. i believe that is the only way to heaven. there are many other religions that believe in the blood, but also believe things i do not. i do not worry about them nor do i argue with them about there beliefs. there are also many religions that don't believe the only way to heaven is by the blood of Christ. these people i worry about. i don't think they will make it to heaven.

I think any organised religion is wrong and it's also very wrong to brainwash people from cradle to grave and not allow them to have free thought and question and debate religion.

Science has amassed more proof for Atheism than any other religion.
