A question for the pious

Here is a nice, simple and polite question to ask a pious believer:
"Why do think that all the religions in the world are wrong except yours?"
Perhaps followed up by:
"Don't you think it is a little presumptuous. or arrogant of you (not to
mention unlikely) that you alone are right?"
It presents a challenge to their sense of righteouness as well as their
rationality. I have found that even highly educated religionists really
can't answer questions about religious diversity. They talk about what
religions have in common, how good they are, and how peaceful, and they
just try to ignore the irreconcilable differences, and the bad and violent
aspects of them.
Come to think of it, imponderable existence of religious diversity is the
reason I gave up religion when I was about 14 or 15.
