Is it likely that all religion is wrong rather than only one right?

Answer 1

There is no one right religion, but there is only one way to Heaven. Being saved by the Grace of God, through Faith.

Answer 2

The question you ask is not your end point, you must make sure that it delves deeper.

In general, it's not too great an idea to bank TOTALLY on the product of humans, as they are not infallible. That being said, you might be wary, at least, at ever saying that any religion is totally correct.

At the same time, all you have to do is read for yourself many of the great works on religion or philosophy or history over the last several millenia and you will see that the depth with which ideas that might take decades for you to develop as deeply are constructed beautifully in past works, passages, and texts. This is how humanity builds upon the past and it can save you a lot of time.

But you must read with an active mind. Think for yourself about what you have read. Even before then, ask yourself the basic questions that religion asks. Anthropologists say that you should ask at least three general questions to create a culture or mindset:

1) What is man's relation to the universe?
2) What is man's relation to man?
3) What is man's relation to himself?

(The Fourth question, which is usually put as one of the three is really arising from these, it is usually said to be "What is man's relation to God?" But if you take nature as creation or "oneself" as more complex to explain than simply an isolated self -- you'll be asking that fourth question by asking the other three)

You might say that these questions deal with purpose, meaning, and situation -- in other words they provide perspective/context. That is useful for having some basis to go on when reading other material of religion or philosophy.

Also, you don't want to stop with your current question. The reason you don't is because it can lead to a false pride, which is not a solution. Whether or not some or all religion is wrong or right, you've still got to figure out if you can add to it, if it is sufficient, take what is useful and build upon it, and learn from what you consider to be its errors. That's the advantage of the past, whether history or past works, it's a compendium of lives of trial and error already lived, use that information to your advantage rather than sit on your laurels saying -- yep I'm better than them or yep, I'm just gonna follow and stop thinking.

Even if a religion were totally correct, you cannot expect its followers to be anything more than human, even if enlightened. So you can expect that any philosophy or religion will have practitioners who are quintessentially human -- that is not what what they should be according to what they profess to be, a.k.a. imperfect examples of the belief.

Science itself continuously is being revised. Was part of it wrong before? Sure. Does that mean it isn't worth persuing or using or improving upon? Nope.

Your question is just a place to begin, but don't lose sight of the purpose of the question -- which is to determine how to path that is right for you to follow. In the final analysis, you really don't care if any or all religion is totally wrong, partially wrong, or perfectly correct, what you care about determining is finding what is right for you.

I wish you well.

Answer 3

Yes. There is no such thing as only one right religion. Many people have different beliefs making it therefore believing in things they will think is completely right.

But I choose to be an Atheist.

Ex: Some people are Satanist, some people are Christians. Some, but not all, Christians dislike Satanist because they worship Satan. But some of them might not even know each other, religion can spread hate among some people.

Answer 4

I honestly think religion is created to keep the world more in order, for there to be rules who people must follow, when you think of it, most religions at the end have the same boundaries. Obviously there are alot of conflicts because of relgion, so its a paradox in a way.
But think of it this way, imagine the human race with no rules whatsoever, it would be chaos.
I guess that all religions aren't really the "right ones".

Answer 5

Religion is a human's opinion, or the opinions of people that raised or influenced that person at one time or another. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, just like the way one lives. As long as you don't hurt another, you are good to go.

Answer 6

religion is an interpretation of what is happening not the end all be all. It's just a finger pointing you in a direction nothing more.
We take things so seriously so literally I wish we could all just calm down about 10 degrees and relax and enjoy our differences.

Much love to all.

Answer 7

No, it's likely that the law of non-contradiction applies. Only one can be right not two or three or ten because two contradictory statements cannot both be true.

That's why I'm glad that Jesus made it simple for me.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Answer 8

By their very existence, all religions are correct for those who follow them, however, since no single religion has all the answers, they are also all wrong.

Answer 9

biblically speaking, there must be one correct religion since christ built a "church".as for hinduism and islam, the bible contends that there are many false religions and many more will surface. in the overall scheme of things, if it's proven that the bible is false then it is likely that all religions are wrong.

Answer 10

Jesus never taught religion, that is man made. They are all wrong and the only right thing to do is follow Jesus Christ.
