An argument as old as time, Pascal's Wager.
Just because you're born into a religion, or take on a religion's philosophies and your life improves, does not mean that this is the word of god, nor does it mean the religious text can be considered entirely the truth. Your life might improve having taken on e.g hindu philosophies, yet this does not mean you're guaranteed to get into heaven. Choosing your faith is important. Pascal's wager states that in the case of having 2 people, an atheist and a believer in God: the atheist will either just disappear at death, or will burn in hell. The believer will either just disappear at death, or will inherit the gift of heaven. The atheist will have a neutral outcome or a horrible one, meanwhile the believer will have a neutral outcome or a great one. The point of this concept is not to force you to believe in God, it's purpose is providing you one logical reason on why you should consider that there might be a god. If you believe that you were made in god's image with his conscience you should be able to apply skepticism to each religion and decide which one you think has the strongest case. This means looking for and fleshing out clear historical and moral contradictions, you don't need to study the philosophies inside and out for each one, you can get to that once you have good reason to believe a given religion does hold the truth of the universe.
