That is the way it should be, yes. But unfortunately most people don't feel that way.

Your question seems to me to be stating the obvious.
The real question here is Which religion(s) is/are valid regardless of whether or not anyone thinks it/they is/are valid?
I could, like many people these days the world over, create my own religion right now and it would be valid to me, but if I created it for the wrong reasons or with irrational ideas, then it wouldn't be unconditionally valid, i.e. whether I believed in it or not.
Therefore, all religions may be equal in their relation to their members, but not all religions are equal in their relation to truth, as some religions are more true than others, and some religions may not have any truth in them at all if they were founded with an irrational premise, which some were (I won't give names).

If all religions were equally valid wouldn't that invalidate all of them. I mean if a meteorite were to the strike the earth and the people of the region started to worship it, and gave it all sorts of divine attributes, would they be right in doing so??? Of course you would say they were a bunch of superstitious fools. But if all religions are equal in every aspect then everyone who is religious is a superstitious fool.?
All religions should regard their own faith as being the right one. Otherwise, they would be hypocrites for participating in it. Nonetheless, even though all religions should regard their faith as being the right one, there is also a need for respect and tolerance among all faiths. Failure to respect and tolerate other faiths would degenerate into a form of religious totalitarianism.
It is the purpose of every human being to seek the truth, to seek knowledge and to live in a manner according to our beliefs.

Yes to the first and No to the second.
Religions differ in the depth of what they teach. Modern day religions teaches the simplier stuff about life and older religions teach the details as well and are more complex and difficult to understand..

YES" To bad more people didn't understand that its ok to have different beliefs. What right does anyone have to say otherwise. Believe what you want, worship however your believe. Don't let anyone take that away. WE are all equal. In religion, language and culture.

In a perfect world, yes.
In a world that can only believe in one set of after life, no.
in the words of Rowan Atkinson as the Devil. "Christians? The Jews were right"

It might be valid to the individual person but that does not make it right.

In the end, we will learn which one is true. They can't all be true. So, each person needs to do thorough research and not just believe in a religion because their parents did.
