Christianity is a little strange in that respect now. The religion does believe that theirs is the only correct religion and everyone else is going to hell -- but that notion is so archaic that a good percentage of individual Christians probably don't even believe it, as we've demonstrated here; not to mention that it's so politically incorrect that no one states it publicly. I mean, this isn't a belief that you can get away with in today's world, what with tolerance and such. Imagine what would happen if a Republican senator went on TV being asked simple, factual questions about Christianity: "What's your religion?" "Christianity." "Do you believe in Christianity and all its teachings completely?" "Yes, of course." "Does Christianity teach that all Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, and homosexuals are going to hell?" "Er, well, I suppose, but-" "-so being such a complete believer in Christianity and all its teachings, you must believe all those people are going to hell too, right?" "I must refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me."

That particular aspect should probably just be changed... but how can you just change something sacred that way? That would probably take all the sacredness out of your religion.
