Religions don't so much "go" to the same place, as they in fact come from the same place--When humans began to think, probably at the time our two lobes became connected, "man" began pondering the question of why am I here. And there was always someone in the tribe ready to take advantage of that longing for knowledge and set themselves up as priests, gurus, whatever. Thus religions originated not as rivers, but as muddy little streams.

Illogical foolishness, those are just words to make people feel good but have no substance. My "religion" is exclusive, and says all others are false, so if it's wrong, theres one religion that doesn't lead into the ocean.

No.
According to my beliefs, there is one correct religion. There is only one river.
However, I also believe that good people will receive good rewards. Not being a member of the correct religion in this life will not necessarily keep you from dwelling with God.

No, I wouldn't use rivers as an anology. Life is rivers... but religions are paths, and most are detours and distractions.

NO, not even close. Non believers think that way because they don't understand religion or faith. They tend to clump us all together.

The hallmark of almost any religion is that they claim to be the only true one. Are they? Hmmm......
