I understand Christianity well enough to appreciate your sentiments. However, it is not true that Christianity is the only religion that "offers a pathway" for one to return back to God. Many religions offer pathways. Some even offer multiple pathways.
The two words "offer" and "a" are critically important. I probably would have declined to comment on the post had the phraseology not contain them. I would agree that it is factually correct that it is the belief of Christians that theirs is the only way back to God.
