For all religions, the idea is that yours is the right one, and therefore the others are wrong. If yours believes in a heaven, then non-belivers don't go there, just your crowd.
And of course the big quandry - if religion "X" is completely incompatible with religion "Y", then which one does God think is the right one, since both claim that He selected "X" OR "Y", not AND.
So there is, of course, the desire to get everyone to join "X" because it would be a shame if peple were in "Y" and didn't get to go to heaven (or wherever). So there obviously, in the religion business, only one correct religion, because incompatible ones cannot both be right (using "2" as an example. Obviously there are more).
Doesn't it strike the believer as being odd that all of the other religions believes that his is the NOT right one, and that obviously God just wants one and all the rest are screwed? Because if you didn't choose your parents, you didn't choose the religion thrust upon you, and you believe out of trust and social encouragments, and when you die will you end up saying "Hey, if you wanted me to be a Muslim, you should have made me one, Goddamit!"
So either God is a twisted bastard enjoying the pain and destruction of religious divisions without giving a hint, or man made all of this stuff up and He doesn't care, or my choice...
...man made all of this stuff up and there never was a God, no matter what name you assign to a super-Ego.
