Buddhism maybe, but the Buddhists I've met take it too far and start wearing robes and stop having sex.

Christians, Muslims, and Jews all feel that their religion is the only way. I'm speaking in general here; there are always people that believe one of these religions and are open to others. I am like that, but I'm trying to find a religion that doesn't state that theirs is the true way and others are wrong or less right. I have specific examples if any Christians, Muslims, or Jews want to refute this.

Buddhists don't see the "true way" as being adherence to a set of doctrines or any complex theology. To them Buddhism is just a means to an end whereas to other religionists their faith is the end in itself. The true way to spiritual enlightenment is through adopting a moral way of living and any Buddhist will tell you that Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc. are perfectly capable of doing that.

LOL...on the Buddhist one.

Religion, by nature, has to believe, or have faith, that theirs is the "True" way.

This is one Buddhist(American Style) that has no robes and hasn't stopped yet!

You have it backwards. There are only three religions that feel they are the One True Faith and they are Islam, Christianity, and to a lesser degree Judeaism. None of the other faiths on the face of the Earth are like that. Do some research.

I don't believe there is an organized religion that is open to the thought of other ways to salvation. There are, I think, many individuals who believe there is. I guess if we all organized, then there would be...

MOST buddhists do not take it thus far, and if they do, so what? There is no true religion. It is all philosophy. Accept everyone.

Yes. Buddhism. Instead of preaching, they teach "don't believe what we tell you, go out and find your higher power yourself"

I do not believe my religion is the one true way. It is simply the best choice for me.

Why would anyone follow a religion that says "we might be lying to you but try us out anyways?"
