Oh no, of course not. But here with religion we have competing versions of "truth" and they can't both be right. At least one of them is wrong. (Arguments which try and fudge the issue and say the are both right are really poor in my opinion and reduce all religions to drivel.)
So I phrased it rather badly, what I should have said is what people claim is the truth regarding religion is largely dependent on where they are born. This suggests they are either answering different questions (seperate gods of exaggerated power) or they are both wrong. Unless of course, one side can show why they are actually right, which they cannot.
Also, if there were more than one "valid answer" you'd expect some sort of spread, not this geographical grouping.
It does amaze me this doesn't bother theists more.
Of course, by some cosmic coincidence, it could somehow turn out that one of the religions is "right". But even if that is the case, the evidence is not there to support such a conclusion.
