Why

Why do so many people just assume that Chistianity in correct? There are many different religions and they all feel they are the correct one around here it's Christianity they knock on doors to tell you your going to hell if you don't belive and do as they say I'm sick of it

Very simple: People are dumb, people believe what their parents teach them, and pass it onto their kids... the answer is: They don't think outside their little bubble.

Remember its not the truthfulness or what kind of religion that matters, all that matters is if a religion promises a life of plenty / happyness or afterlife as a reward, all the major religions share the "promise / reward" strategy that keeps them alive. If the biblical god promised them a bag of chips instead of eternal life, do you think christianity would have lasted that long? hah.

Many humans can't accept the finality and utter destruction of their friends and family at death, on top of that, before modern times NO culture knew the hitsory of the world, so they had to make up common stories/myths in order to bind society together.. and so religion is an evolutionary coping mechanism that for most intents and purposes has just outlived its usefulness.

parts, I feel the same way you do since I've been struggling with my own faith in recent times. I wish I could take all those damn televangelists and religious politicians and beat the living hell out of them right now for talking and acting stupid. I wrote more in another topic earlier

I would have to say it is because Christianity was popular by Europeans and Europeans explored the world with missionaries preaching.
Before that there was Constantine.
Wow, I summed up alot in 2 sentences.
