Religious beliefs around the world have not been falsified. How does one, therefore, logically support Christian beliefs but not Muslim beliefs or vise versa?

Religious beliefs
THAT IS THE POINT!

The two biggest statistical predictors of religious affiliation are the religious affiliation of one's parents and the location of birth.
For instance, if you are born in America you have a 76% chance of claiming Christianity at some point in your life after age 18. If you are born in America to Christian parents, that goes up to 92%.
However, if you are born in India your lifetime chance of claiming Christianity is 6%.
Those numbers are roughly reversed if we're talking about Hinduism.
