Only Christianity offers hope for our daily lives on this earth, and for the eternal life to come.

Of course not everybody believes that, but those who do have something no other faith can offer.

Unfortunately, that is simply a belief on your part. There are definitely aspects of all religions that are perfectly capable of offering the same as Christianity. The problem with all of them is that their followers aren't actually following the "real" aspects of their faiths. It is as if it's all the frosting and no cake. Most of the esoteric teachings that lead to spiritual transformation or transcendence are not taught to the followers, because many of their leaders are themselves unaware of the "secret" teachings given to those who were deemed ready. What's left today is a shell of what the real teachings were.
