I don't think there's any 'right' religion, honestly. I'm a Christian Scientist, and I'm happy with my religion. I believe in the message of Jesus and I believe in doing to others as I'd like done to me and I don't believe in judging people or condemning them. I don't believe in hell, or the devil, or in a vengeful or angry god.
Christian Science just feels right to me - there's no judging, it's all about accepting people as they are. There are no priests or churches or hierarchies. We just get together and talk, with each meeting led by a Group Reader. We read passages of the Bible and discuss them and what they mean to us. It's all very relaxed and laid back. And it's the only Christian religion I've had experience with that believes it's perfectly alright to be gay.
Plus? It was founded by a woman.

Being a christian scientist, I'd assume your main approach would be analytical study of Bible passages. If you think there's no 'right' religion, then what is your interpretation of Exodus 20:3 - God:"You shall have no other God's but me" and John 14:6 Jesus:"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me". If Jesus himself claims that he is the only way to God than that causes problems for a christian who believes what Jesus says but also believes in all faiths leading to God.
Also, from a logical point of view, if God could use another way to bring people to him, why did he take the costly option of sacrificing his own son? Surely it would have been easier to just point everyone to Muhammad.
