There are no false religions. Religion is defined to include a exhuberant fixation on anything. Usually, we think of religions as doctrines of organizations that are fixated on the worship of God.
The Funk & Wagnals dictionary includes this sentence: "His job was a religion to him."
Even if a religion is based on false information, it, by its survival , meets the criteria that it is a fixation.
There are no false "fixations". Usually; the more the fixation is based on false information, the more pure and avid is the "fixation".

A false religion is a cult.
Counterfeit Christianity is probably the best description I can give for a cult. Counterfeit Christianity is an imitation of real Christianity. Bible terms like "Jesus Christ, Resurrection, Salvation, and Atonement" are used by the Cult, but entirely different meanings have been assigned to these terms by the various cult groups.
Like counterfeit money which is sometimes difficult to detect, so it is difficult to detect counterfeit Christianity, since it looks like the real thing. Experts examining counterfeit money often hold it up to a strong light and look for identifying marks. Counterfeit Christianity also has identifying marks which can be seen when held up to an even stronger light, the light of God's word, the bible.
We are at an advantage if we know what to expect from a cult. Cultists are very well trained to appear "Christian", and indeed believe they are the true church, and you need the deliverance! Therfore, be bold and ask the question, "Do you believe the group you represent is the only true church on the face of the earth?"
If they reply that they are, or if they are evasive, making remarks like "Well, every church has a measure of truth but...", you have made an early detection of a Cultist.
Every true Chistian, if asked the same question, regardless of his denomination, would reply that the true church is comprised of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and HE (not some organization) is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, (John 14:6). No legitimate denomonation would claim that they alone and their members have salvation exclusively, but the cults (the counterfeits) do.
There are many cults that are calling themselves Christians, such as the Mormons and the Jehovahs Witnesses.

I think we can't say a certain religion is false unless we look back to its history . Until now , the religions (all) have shown a certain particularity ; each religion has some positive ideas .
I think people make false steps in practicing a religion .

If you are New TestementChristian, then any doctrine that adds to or takes away from the New Testement is false. If you are a Modern faith only christian, then any church that says faith without works is dead being alone is false, but of course this would include James 2:17 as false.
If you are a Jesus only christian then all other churches are false.
If you are a musilim then anything outside of Islam is false.
If you are Wiccan like me all religions lead to diety. The only false religion to us is not being trru to ourselves.

Any religion deliberately concocted to defraud other people of money, belongings, or personal liberty, without any "real" spiritual experience or revelation. There are several cults, especially in America, that meet this qualification.
"Real" religions actually involve faith in some sort of deity(ies), which are supposed to actually exist. If a self-appointed "guru" (for lack of a better term) proclaims some revelation that he DOES NOT ACTUALLY BELIEVE, so he can get rich, the religion he spouts is false.

Every one except the Baptist religion. The Baptist religion is the only true one cause I got saved and I can still sin. I can sin and I got a free pass on Judgment Day, it's a guarantee. Jesus will just wave me through, he won't check my sins.
All other religions are false, especially the ones that won't let me sin.

Judeo-Christian faith tells us that those different religions are fake, and seeing because the Bible remains the most precise historic e-e book known, containing now maximum effective very few and minor transformations many endless numbers of years after the first actual manuscript, this view has for sure existed as a results of the truth that in the previous than Christianity. Christianity is the really faith the position the deity has taken the steps needed for human beings to be forgiven. different gods require persons to participate specially acts interior the wish they're going to comprehend heaven, Christianity teaches you simplest ought to repent and accept Jesus - it truly is it. evaluate that with what different religions practice and remember which exhibits extra love from a god - forcing persons to artwork for a danger for his or her salvation, or providing the way himself in which persons might want to also be kept whoever they're. Archeology keeps to reveal the Bible perfect. No diverse non secular e-e book can declare this, or that the numerous prophecies contained in them have come actual, as with the Bible. seven-hundred years earlier Jesus change into born Isaiah wrote details that Jesus precisely fulfilled. There aren't any diverse religions that can make a similar claims and be validated precise by way of historic previous, archeology or perhaps technology. Even in call for archeologists have reported publicly that the Bible has a dependancy of being validated perfect even even as the archeologists are out to practice the opposite! For those causes and extra Christians accept the understand God that diverse religions outdoors the Jewish Christian crew worship fake idols.

To make things simple. There is only one truth, to any situation. though many many interpret it differently, it does'nt change the fact there can be only one real truth. A false religion would be, that which was not of that one truth. but made up of man's interpretations, not God. To say there is no total truth is a lie against the very nature of things.
