I dont consider myself a religious person, but I was raised primarily with the Christian faith: worship Jesus, always try to do right, ask God and Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and when you die you go to Heaven...more or less.
Buuuuut theres dozens of other faiths out there...
Sooo my question is....
How do i know that Christianity is the right one?

I believe it was Marcus Borg that addressed this question for me in his work "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" when he said that Christianity didn't have to be
right, just
right for him on his own spiritual Journey.
This is the view I've held ever since.
As I've explored Christianity and other religions, it is Christianity that most encourages and nurtures me in my search for God.
So you will never hear me say that "Christianity is right (to the exclusion of other religions)," but rather, "Christianity is right for
me."
