If Christians are right, 1.4 billion Jews and Muslims are wrong
If Muslims are right, 2.1 billion Christians and Jews are wrong
If Jews are right, 3.5 billion Christians and Muslims are wrong
If they are all wrong, more than 3.5 billion Jews Christians and Muslims are wrong.
Any way you look at it, billions of monotheists are wrong

No, you're wrong. They're all right! And - get this - you're right. And - check this out - they're all wrong! Got it?

Your position here is an ad populum fallacy.
Most human thought that the sun went around the earth or that slavery was acceptable. That does not make either [and different] type of proposition correct. The fact that many are wrong doesn't mean so also are many more.

Well, as long as they don't say the other religion is "wrong," then they are all right. But I guess this doesn't always happen.
I like to think of God as being the same God for all religions, no matter what aspect/face you may put on him/her/it. In this way you can appreciate your God and not denigrate mine at the same time. To me, if your beliefs cause you to love each other, and treat each other as you'd like to be treated, you can call it whatever you want! Just make sure you include ALL people, like LGBT people, all races, divorced people, women, etc. and treat them the same.
What a great place this world would be if we all felt this way!

Apparently, no one knows what the hell they're talking about so I'll just sit back and indulge in my own personal philosophies and spiritual beliefs which happen to bring me enough joy instead of wracking my brain trying to prove everyone else wrong while I die a painful and miserable death wondering if I'm going to heaven or hell.

Lots of stats...from good research, I hope...
It's not that everyone has it "wrong"...it's more like they get "stuck" in a doctrine, and seek no further...their knowledge & growth are limited to their "box"...See?
Monotheists, by the way, believe in one God being...when in fact there is a duality at work here...A Father God/A Mother God...combined together as One in pure love (Holy Spirit). Remember the saying "we are all made in the image of God"? Well, excuse me, but I am female (this time around)...no, not a sub-species...I reflect the Goddess side of the duality.

Hmmm....
Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Guess I'm a Christian.. but not a monotheist.

But millions of Germans who followed Hitler were wrong too. Just because billions of people could be wrong doesn't change the facts.

Religions are like rivers to the ocean, some take a long time to get there.
Me, I'll just go to the beach instead.

Have noticed that the religions you mentioned are also "book" religions? It seems to me that the religions that don't have holy books fair much better in the tolerance arena.
