Religion simply reflects all of the different philosophy believed by humans. It is not unethical (some will disagree vehemently, ignore them, this is your life) to become knowledgeable of many beliefs and see which one or combinations fit your gut feeling on everything. Hardcore religious people don't favor faith exploration because they are afraid you will make the wrong choice, but that is insecurity they have that they have made the wrong choice. Good luck, keep asking those questions!!1

In general, everyone beliefs their religion is best. You'll never see a Christian going round saying "Well, this Christianity thing is pretty good, but those Muslims, they've got it all figured out!"
Basically, your question is just an invitation for everyone to give arguments why they think their religion is the best.
As for my opinion (since you asked anyway) I find that eastern religions like Daoism and Buddhism (in their original forms) have some merit since they are both based on observation and philosophy (no deities whatsoever) and not the assumption that there is a greater force out there.
But then again, I guess that would qualify them as philosophies and not religion.

Yes, definitely. I have every reason to believe there is only one true religion, and that religion will lead to real everlasting life. All other religions are false for they teach ideas and philosophies of men as doctrines to mislead people. However, it's up to you as an individual to search for the truth because there is a truth out there, because the true God's "will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth". (1 Timothy 2:4) The key to gaining that accurate knowledge of truth is the Holy Scriptures (The Bible). It is scientifically accurate. Also, the Bible prophecies had been fulfilled. God's true worshippers are looking forward to seeing the last prophecies being fulfilled. The Bible provides so many clues to identify God's true worshippers. You owe it to yourself to search for the truth, because the truth will set you free, the truth means everlasting life. Once you know the truth, everything will become crystal clear to you and you will understand why there are so many religions out there. False religions will end soon (this is a Bible prophecy). For those who choose not to know God, it doesn't matter. God will bring vengeance upon those who do not know him. (1 Thessalonians 1:8)
"...Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man." (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

The One True Religion is best.
The rest are bad, certainly mistaken, possibly even Satanic.
This is because God/the Gods/ the Holy Bunchadeities want(s) you to believe in it because it is the One True Religion.
It is True, and the rest are false.
And there is only one (1) one of it.
Now you have to figure out which it is, don't you?
Note that it is possible that it has not been revealed to anyone as of yet.

i dont think a single religion is better than any of the others, because they're all opinions, and no opinion is better than anyone else's. really, who knows what is true? i think some are more believeable than others, but i do not think that any are better than the rest.

No. All religions and sciences seek the same thing: Truth. I'm just not sure that Truth with a capital T exists.

No I do not think one religion is better. As long as you believe in God and the Bible then it is between you and God.

All paths are valid ways back home to God.
What ever brings you closer to God is a good thing.
Many say that their way is the only right way But this is more of a silly little dream of superiority that it is anything else.

No...
They all have flaws, none are perfect.
I have found that personal philosophy does much better.
I also respect all religions out there, and the rights to people to practice all religions.

Just remember that any religion that claims to be the only way to God is a lie.
