A religion that is unlike any other religion is the one true religion.
Christianity is unlike any other religion.
Therefore, Christianity is the one true religion.

Christianity is the last evolutionary step. Other religions don't go this far/ they are incomplete in comparison. Like I said, and it obviously meant nothing to you, God reaches down to you and enables you to claim perfection, even though you are imperfect (a Christian, amongst others, assumption). You don't need to work at it, you don't need to suffer for it, all you have to do is accept it and embrace it.
Outside of the dogma, you are embracing positivity, and rejecting negativity. Your imperfections and tenancy to fail are accepted, all that is important is that your aim is for positivity.
Without any religion this is achievable. Christianity ids simply a ready made blue print, should you want to get there using a map.
Do you believe Christianity is true or do you hope it's true? It's sounds to me you just hope it's true because it paints a nicer picture about the world in your mind than any other religion.
