Easy question...
Take a big mental step back and look at the billions of humans in the world, all have the thought that their conclustions are correct, just as you and I do.
Really it's just the environment a human is born and raised in, religion is simular to software products at computer store. You pick the religion (software) that is approved by your community and select the branch of that religion that you are emotionally comfortable with.
Real truths are valid for all humans and they do not allow
you to pick and choose the ones you like. Build your mental house on these type of truths, enjoy the immense diversity
of brain formats among humans, and live every moment for the wonder of life itself.
While religion provides awsome emotional morphine to buffer the human against the cruelties of the world and ones own mortality, it's not really needed and requires and incredible amount of mental resources to maintain belief in and invisible "Barney" that is taking care of us all.
Love your neighbor as yourself and all things in life will flow with ease (course if your neighbor sticks you in the back then kick their ass but that is a fun endeavor also.)

From a brain truly free
