I am always willing to admit that my way may not be the right way. It is the right way for me, even if I'm wrong at least I lived a happy and fulfilled life. Maybe none of us are right. Or maybe Atheists are right, but for me my religion makes me happy so what's the harm.

Me. I believe I am right but I am not so arrogant nor unintelligent to be able to admit that I very well could be wrong. I have no evidence of my faith. I just have faith.
Regardless of the fact that I could be wrong, I have made a choice and I plan on sticking to it. Some call that pascals wager, I say whatever. It's not that I'm believing 'just in case'. I believe what I believe but I realize it's a choice and as such, could be wrong.
EDIT: I probably should have said that I'm LDS (Mormon)

I am absolutely NOT willing to say that my religion may not be correct. I know for a fact that it is correct. Otherwise I would have no business living my life by its doctrines and dedicating myself to such faith. Actually, this topic was brought up amongst a small group of Christians. The question was "How do you know that Christianity is the only way to believe?" And I answered, "There are many ways to believe, but I chose christianity because I believe it to be the only TRUE way to believe. When this is challenge and I am told, 'Well, you have to admit that you COULD be wrong' I say that if I were to admit that I may be wrong I would be compromising my faith. Faith is an unwaivering belief in something, to say that you may be wrong is waivering and I will not waver in my belief. If I were to waiver then I would have no right to say that it is the way I believe."

I think what you are asking is the difference between religion and spirituality. Seeing the threads of truths that tie all world religions together makes it hard for me to pick one and discard all the others as wrong. So I am spiritual, not religious.

I'm a religious Jew and I believe in G-d. How can I undoubtedly believe in G-d and then say that mine might not be the right religion? that does not make sense.

If you are asking whether I think my religion might not be right... I'll admit that my religion (Lutheran) is definitely wrong. But fortunately, that does not matter. What matters is that my faith (in Christ as my personal Lord and Savior) is absolutely right. So I'm OK. Only faith in God matters. There is only one God and he has three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That's the only true faith.

it's kind of hard to bash people over the head with your beliefs while knowing that there might be more than one way (as heathen daughter said) or that your way isn't accurate at all (as you've said and, in my opinion, holds true for most fundies).
i believe that we're all gods with a lower case g, and know that i'm correct in my own reality tunnel, and probably incorrect in others...

Yes, I say it often here.
I believe in gods and goddesses but I'm the first to say that my religion and deities aren't for everyone.
That's one reason you won't find pagans and heathens going door-to-door - finding the path you're meant for is part of the task.

oh i thought you meant religious as in nuns and priests and such. I was going to say that i'm not a religious person yet but i hope to become a Sister or Nun. but to answer your question, obviously i believe in one God. And I also believe that my religion, the Catholic one, is the correct one founded by Jesus. but that's not to say that Protestants are completely wrong either, as long as they worship God and commit no mortal sin then i believe that they also will go to heaven.

A good christian will never cop to this one not where the profit margin of his church is concerned ! After all faith is absolute belief even in the faces of overwhelming evidence to the contrary .
