You see this is where the superiority complex of each religion fails. Christians say only Christians will enter Heaven or those whole follow Christian ideals, but they also say that every person has the freedom to belief in the correct religion.
But this is not the case, if you are born into an avidly Muslim household in an anti Christian society, you would be persecuted for even thinking of becoming a Christian, but the thought wouldn't even enter your head in the first place because all your life you have been told how Christianity is wrong and probably a whole bunch of mistruths on how Christians are trying to wipe out the Muslim world etc.
If we were to follow the notion that only one faith is the right one, the one to gain entry to heaven, then those who are born into that correct faith have an almost external advantage, God chooses where a child should be born, those born into extremist families have no liberty - subsequently they have no chance for eternal happiness, though of course they belief their religion is the correct one and Christianity is the wrong faith instead. But this is a whole other argument on whether there are multiple God's and Heaven's for the multiple faiths that exist on Earth..
