How do we know anything? I suppose one day you'll get this gut feeling that something is right for you, and therefore in the case of religion this woud mean it's the right one, because i think nearlly all religions state that they are right and you cannot believe in any other.
I think there was a challenge put to Rene Descartes along the lines of "Why don't you become a Christian because if you're right and God doesn't exist you'll never know but if I'm right and he does you'll go to hell"
His response was basically "If you're right and God exists there are so many religions that you're likely to go to hell for following the wrong one but if I live a good life I may go to heaven for having done so and for following my concience and not having worshipped a false religion"
