Most people are exactly where they need to be, experiencing what they need to experience. That's karma. And part of karma sometimes is binding or freeing oneself within an organzed religion, according to what lessons the individual seeks to learn.

the definition of the word faith is:
1. loyalty or allegiance to a cause or a person
Example: "Keep the faith"
2. complete confidence in a person or plan etc
Example: "He cherished the faith of a good woman"
3. a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
Example: "He lost his faith but not his morality"
4. institution to express belief in a divine power
Example: "A member of his own faith contradicted him"
from the definitions given by websters dictionary combined with my own way of thinking i would say that yes all faiths are true and valid. why? because the people that share a faith also share something else with everyone else in the universe . . . everyone has their own feelings and thoughts - concepts and beliefs that are different and others may not be able to understand or accept to be valid. lack of understanding a belief doesn't make it wrong - because these feelings and thoughts belong to a person - that makes them real.

Every faith is valid and true to the person who believes in it. I am Christian and so my belief that God is the only God and Jesus died for my sins is extremely valid to me. A person of Jewish descent believes that the messiah has not come yet, and to them that belief is true and valid. The real answer would be...all religions are true and valid as they are perceived by the people who believe in them.

That question is just as irrational as the thousands of belief systems themselves. How can conflicting doctrines all be true?
Now, if you had said something like "All faiths are stupid and irrelevant, agreed?", I would had to have given my assent to that.

Do not agree....if you say all religions lead to one God...I will have to agree with you but in this case I won't. Faith is always tried and tested and if one's faith tell us to kill another human being, is that valid?..... Is that true?

Agree.
All faiths are a Path to God. Difference in no way implies wrongness. If that were true, then we must "go all the way" and judge the rightness and wrongness of each and every difference between us.
What really is wrong with being a blond, blue-eyed, bisexual Catholic, right-handed, wearing glasses and a hearing aid, born in LaPorte, IN (instead of Chicago, IL...how dare I !).
What really is right with being born a red-headed, green-eyed straight Baptist, left-handed, perfect eyesight and hearing, heart defect, born in Canoe, KY (instead of Nashville, TN...how dare I !)

All faith is based on belief in the non-existent, a triumph of the irrational over the rational.

Disagreed. Maybe to ourselves but only God knows whether our faiths are true and valid. I believe God despises religion and only look at an individuals heart who faithfully worships him in spirit and in truth.

NO,if I put 268 or even300 glasses of water on your table and while you were outside put poison in all of them except oneand told you that all of them were truly refreshing would you drink them all, knowing that only one was without poison, would you say then that it doesn't matter which oune you drink you will be ok? The Bible says that there is only one faith(Ephesians4:5) meaning only one true faith! So like the poisoned glasses of water the other faiths are poisoned with lies even though people do not realise this.

Absolutely, all faiths are true.
It is the problem with the people who does not
know their own religion well, and they have no
faith in their own religion either.
But the root cause lies on bilnckred preachers.
