If you have not studied other religions, it only exposes your lack of knowledge.

Assuming your goal is salvation and not being thrown into Sheol or the Lake of Fire, assuming that Hell exists (and I believe it does, because we are not in charge, and God has been good enough to preserve our Judeo-Christian understanding of salvation/damnation through wars and strife over 5,000 years), let me point out that if salvation were a distant city, you could take a bus, you could take a train, or you could take a plane. But you can't take a bus, a train and a plane all at the same time. It is not enough to study a religion; one must live it with commitment even to begin to understand it.

You know what is most important, regardless of which religion? Try to leave this world a better place than when you arrived. Non-violence to other human beings should be the top priority. I like and admire all religions which do NOT commit violence to others in the name of religion. Faith is a very personal matter, and we all share so many common goals. Let religion NOT divide us.
