First of all Mandina I agree. But I would like for everyone to consider a few things.
Early on in life we are instilled with an attitude of following the crowd. I can remember coming up in school, and often making the statement to my parents when I got in trouble or did poorly on a test, that all my friends were their or that everybody got a bad grade. In the end I would hear those famous words " If everybody jumped off a bridge are you going to?" Many thimes we would join groups to be apart of the "in crowd", no one wanted to be the kid that was left out or always picked last. And we would feel more comfortable and confidant when we had are boys backing us up, there was a sense of safety in numbers. If a party was not packed we would leave. We rarely would speak up about things that could be considered contoversal, in fear of scutny.
What I am getting at is this. I have found many people often do things because alot of people are doing it. And with respect to religion it is no different. Many people often say that they can't find a religion that meets their belifs, or rather their compromises.
The fact of the matter is that we live in a compromising world, the reason for the creation and acceptance of so many different religions is that we have tailored them to what is convient for us, rather than tailor our lives beliefs and practices towards God's plan and the examples he has given.
So I challenge everyone to seek out the truth, for it is not the popular path to follow, because the truth is, that millions of people are just following the crowd. I believe their is a "True Church"

yes i agree with this , so did Jesus
Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it(matthew7;13-14)
