Personally, I don't think anyone has it completely right. And I don't think that the point of religion is to be "right". Being "right" is relative. It's the same thing as being "normal", there's no such thing. Anyways, I think that life is just about being a good person. If there is another plane of existence (such as a heaven), than I don't believe that a god who is s'posed to be just would not let people in just because they weren't "right". Who's to say that just because you believe one thing you deserve to go to heaven any more than someone who led a good life.
If I would live by some sort of dogmatic creed, I'd have to say that I would try to follow the teachings of Christ. That is NOT to say Christianity. I think a lot of the Bible and other things they teach are bullshit (again, my personal opinion for MYSELF). But have you ever just read the RED print? That is s'posedly the word of God or Christ. And it is very similar to the teachings of Buddah. What he says is more about how you should be as a person, about your SOUL. Nowhere does it say that you shouldn't eat meat on certain days or all those other random things that people do.
So, I guess I'd have to say, in my opinion, the closest thing to being right so far is the Gnostic Gospels
