For those who profess a particular faith or religion, how can you be sure your religion is the correct one? And even there are so many branches and sub branches and sub sub branches of religions, so how do you know your specific branch, sub-branch, sub-sub-branch, etc... is the correct one out of all of those within the same general religion?

You can say you have faith that it is so, but so do all the other people in incompatible (with your branch) branches and in incompatible (with your religion) religions. So I ask you: How do you know you made the right choice? Keep in mind that the number of people who believe a particular thing does not affect the truth value of it, in most cases.*

I say "in most cases" because if you tried, you could make a counter-example, but usually the truth value of a statement is independent of how many agree with it. One counter-example would be the truth value of the statement "Most people believe X". This indeed would change based on how many people believed whatever X was.
