I've had a busy week this week, hopefully I'll be back soon. You're completely right and it's completely illogical to assume everything is right in the sphere of religion. However, I think the sinful mind wanting to rid itself of God plays a big part in this objection. Clark sorry for the lateness of my reply.

If you think about it, though, all the major world religions claim some exclusive rights to the true path. Jews and Muslims also teach that only followers of their religion will receive eternal life. The Buddha taught that following the eight fold path would release one's soul from eternal sufering. Only this recent New Age thinking tells us that there are many paths. Every religion has some amount of exclusion to it, so the claim of Christians shouldn't be surprising nor offensive.
