I too was baptized into Christianity. Many people here know I have had conflicts with the church and my church friends since a very young age, and it's the people I just can't stand. I think because of the whole baptism thing most people who are Christian have been since birth. They have never questioned or researched their own religion, and instead just follow blindly, making decisions based on half-truths.
So I went on a "journey of self-discovery" or whatever, and researched a lot of religions and cultures. As much as I'm for the science and evolution thing, I couldn't commit totally to atheism (Atheists have a bad reputation for not giving a shit about the feelings of people who choose to be religious, and I don't like that). Eventually I decided Buddhism was best for me, it has everything I like about Christiany, without all the crappy sheeple.
In short, all religions follow the same core principles, like treating others how they would like to be treated. It's all about choosing how you want to worship, where, when. The little details that fit best into your life and make it feel right to believe. If I reallly had to go into it, I would argue that everyone worships the same God, and that the truth got lost along the way, leaving space for interpretation and purposeful changes to help world leaders.
