If Christ is not unique to you, then it's my painful duty to tell you that
you probably don't know him as your personal saviour.

That is not really the issue.

It's a maze, but just giving up and saying they all must be right in their
own way is not an option for someone to whom God has given a brain and the
ability to go figure.

We respect people as having a human right to their religion, but we also
have the human right to believe that they are are in error, which they must
be if what we believe is true. The same as we would be in error if what they
believed is true.
We don't vilify them for being wrong, but we have a duty to put the truth
out there.
Even when we'd rather keep the peace and not bother.
