of course religious people would say that, just like muslims take the koran to be just as true. The point is who are you and what makes one religion more correct than the next. There is no proof and I dont think I'd like to believe in a religion who's church kept man in the dark ages thru fear and control. The Church is just controlled thought without scientific reasoning. Religion is a good idea, but to build a structure around it and set rules is ludricris. Man obviously proved his lack of divinity so who am I to do what another man says I have to do for "salvation"? Thats just my 2 cents.
EDIT:
Besides, its all about control. It's like the government. Government doesnt want you to say this because its "against the law" or "top secret". Government wants to control information and control language because that's how you control thought. The same goes for religion. Religion is nothing but mind control - they want to control your mind, control your thought. They tell you things you shouldnt say and do because they're "sins". And besides telling you things you shouldn't say, they tell you things you SHOULD say. "Heres something you can say after you eat, heres something you should say before you go to bed. Heres something you say on the 4th Sunday in April after the first full moon in spring at 4o'clock when the bells ring."
THANK YOU GEORGE CARLIN.

It's not the understanding of the religion. It's the understanding of the zealous idiots that follow it to a point where you go to declare war over it, or harass people to the point they want to kill you. Most of the religions you stated are all stemmed from the same people - The Hebrews. You dont believe me? Do some research. But like I said, it's not the understanding of the rules/practices/beliefs of each religion, its the closemindedness of the fanatics that follow them.
the only thing you say you think something is something is when you state you dont think you'd like to believe in a blahblahblah. all the rest, you state specifically that one thing
IS blahblahblah. hence, you are making a statement that it is true.
