Christians claim that their religion is true over other religions because "religion says 'do'. Christ says 'done'".
The problem: In Islam, the way you become a muslim is by declaring that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his prophet. The way to paradise (muslim version of heaven with rivers of wine, virgins, and basically it's a garden of eden) is just as simple as the biblical way. Furthermore in the NT, it says that chrisians will be ranked (in the new world) based on their deeds on earth.
If you want a unique religion, try hinduism. Hinduism teaches the idea that all religions are equally true and equally false. In other words, each religion is just a piece of a puzzle which forms a bigger picture. This is unlike Chrisianity, Islam, and Mormonism which teach that they are the only way. Even buddhism is pretty clear that its way is the best (eradicate the desire to do more to avoid suffering and do enough good to eventually reincarnate into the world soul) and isn't really compatible with most other religions even if it is compatible with atheism.
This is not to say that I am a hindu but rather that the christian's argument of being unique is invalid.
