Eph 5:11:"…have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”.
Amos 3:7 “…God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
Why this post?
Before I dig into prophecy, I felt to at least, at a cursory level, address the matter of which religion.
This topic is so remarkably well argued by heaps of apologists that I’ll skim it at best.
To do, or not to do
ALL other religions require an achievement from man, whereas Christianity acknowledges that man, due to sin, fails to reach such state but can merely accept what the divine has DONE for us.
Islam
Islam is crystal clear that no middle man is needed:
And that we need to deserve it through works and hence a huge list of can and can nots just like Jesus reprimanded the Scribes and Pharisees in his time:
Catholicism
They transplant Jesus’ atonement into the Eucharist. A writer notes that Jesus’ sacrifice should be done away with:
Which is aligns to their Catechism:
From their official documentation the Eucharist is the sacrifice:
Buddhism

The lounge critic
I have heard the argument that all faiths are all about do this and do that, also against Biblical Christianity, since we need to believe that Jesus died for us, again require an action on our part. I guess there is little I can do to argue the impassive lounge critic after my lengthy point that a Design seem to be behind all things.
(I shall return to the topic of SIN in future.)
whydoneit?
All other religions turns the focus away from God to man. From the Creator to the created. Biblical Christianity does the opposite.
