Why do people who are born into religion or choose a religion generally believe their religion to be the ultimate truth?

Humans are loyal to what they are surrounded by, no matter if it's 'right' or 'wrong', it's ultimately always going to (most likely) be right to that individual. Especially with religion, there is not necessarily any way to disprove any faith since it is a very broad concept and is belief not knowledge. Therefor, anyone can presume that their religion is the "ultimate truth".

What type of religion is best for someone that isn't sure what they believe?
If you are not sure what you believe, I would ask why you believe you need a religion at all. Not being sure what you believe means you are probably agnostic, and need do nothing to remain an agnostic. If you have no conviction that there is a deity or controlling spirit, then you could look at what you really do believe already. Do not join a religion or cult unless you genuinely believe the teachings of that religion or cult. Do some research first and then choose a religion that makes the most sense to you.

It is not right for any religion to force their beliefs, in any way, shape or form, on others who do not believe in that religion. Religion should not be used to shape our country. The constitution guarantees us that we can be any religion that we choose, or no religion at all, if we so choose.
Is there an age to choose religion?
It depends on what type of person you are. Some people are raised as a member of a particular religion and never choose for themselves, whereas others may choose to become, for example, a Buddhist when their parents are christian. In other words, anyone can choose there religion at any age, assuming they have the capability to do so. As far as I know, most religions have their "coming of age" ceremonies at the age of twelve, so that is when it is generally recognized that you are mature enough to have made your own decision on which religion you choose.
