We all respond to the light we've been given. The world isn't black and white to me. I do not see One True Religion on one side and False Teachings on the other. Since God is the source of all goodness and truth, each religion has at least some validity at the most basic level. I believe God will be merciful to believers that sincerely respond to those teachings with love and goodwill. Now are all religions equal? No. I do not believe that. I think some are better than others at cultivating love and goodwill among their adherents. The Great Commission still applies, since Christians want to draw others into greater light.
