What are the odds of our religions?

I was speaking to a few people the other day, and they said that their religion was the one that was true. I of course disagree (we are not of the same faith), but i kept my opinion to myself. (the person was Christian, i am Wiccan) But this got me thinking, What are the odds that the religion we believe in is true?? and what would we do if we found out or religion is false?? i know i wouldnt be able to just stop believing. Would you??

It seems more likely to me that all of the religions that teach love and peace have bits and pieces of the truth.

I've done some exploring and I think that Christianity, specifically Roman Catholicism, has the fullness of the truth. But I would never be so arrogant to say that it was the one true faith in that all others were completely false just because they used different liturgies.

God is too big for any of us to get whole. I suspect that if we'd stop bickering and put all of our individual pieces of the puzzle together, we'd have a truer and clearer vision of who God really is.

We all can o0nly follow what we believe.

I'm also Wiccan, but I don't feel my religion hinges on my being right. If I learn new information or believe new things I assimilate it, but I don't have to toss Wicca out the window.

If someone proved to me there is no Higher Power tonight, tomorrow I'd still be Wiccan, because the rituals and the principles are meaningful to me whether there is a Divine Source or not.

I think the odds that *any* religion is right are really low.
I believe in my spirituality because it is right for me, it makes sense to me, etc. If I found out that I'm wrong I wouldn't be too upset, I'd just accept it and move on. It would suck as my spirituality is important to me but on the other hand I do embrace and thrive on change.
