The one that follows the Bible.
Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.
Jesus said that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1 John 2:15-17.
Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14) What religion is really proclaiming God’s Kingdom as the hope of mankind instead of encouraging people to look to human rulership to solve their problems? Has your religion equipped you to share in this activity, and to do it from house to house as Jesus taught his apostles to do?—Matt. 10:7, 11-13; Acts 5:42; 20:20.

NONE AT ALL.
All religion is man-made. The differences in the various religions are created by geographical differences and requirements of the indigenous peoples.
Religion is a 'necessary' crutch for the weak-minded and/or desperate, who cling to false promises in the hope that they may be true. They are not. All religion is a lie, created to keep people happy in spite of their misery, created to gain power and control over the populace.
If you believe in all the nonsense, your awareness of the real world needs bringing up to speed.
I know that it would be very nice if it were all true but it isn't true. It's because it IS such a good concept that fools globally WANT it to be true. It IS a major confidence trick that so many have fallen for and, due to the indoctrination of children, generation after generation, that the myth persists.
Time to grow up and be an adult.
Ask the right questions about the validity of the claims made, which, very conveniently, all centre upon invisibility and magical powers. Highly likely scenario? Many of the more understanding among us know it is not even slightly likely.
Reality may be scary to you but there is no god, no devil, no heaven, no hell, no soul and, importantly, no afterlife.
This is all there is. Cope with it.
Atheism IS the only logical choice.

You want OUR opinion? ... Well, chances are, most people are gonna say that their religion is the true one. I'm not any different. I am a Muslim and can strongly defend my faith, and hence, I confidently state that Islam is the true religion. Most may not agree with me, of course, because of what the media has taught them about Islam, or about what they read in the Quran "out of context, without explanations, without understanding, without reasoning...".
But I think you should research the truth about any religion (from sources offered by that religion itself) that you may be interested in and then decide if it's true or not.
Peace and blessings of God be upon you, and may God Almighty guide you to the Right Path!

Every Religion has their imperfections, just like people. So in a nut shell I really wouldnt say that they are True/Not True. I would say that they all want to achieve the same goals, with similar beliefs, I know one thing though, there is only one true GOD.

Well all religions,well most major ones, have a book..like the Bible,The Q'uran,The Vedas.And all of them praises the Lord and the good will..but how it came about..is mouth to mouth and then written down by people..and people are people..these religions are male-centered and truly how can God discriminate women,like why should only the woman who has to over herself up to show respect and all,why people get so angry or shocked by the idea that Jesus was a married man..without marriage there wont be anyone to talk about it..as noone would have been born in the first place.In the Vedas,so many Woman-God but still no respect from the indians for women..there they wont even allow a female child to be born..In arab countries women are coverd up from head to toe to hide from what..if God is so powerful he could have made the woman the way he wanted..so why cover up the creation of God Himself..are they not like assuming that God's creation isnt good enough..So most religions if not all..cant be true as they arent centered to God but to desire of the people..reliion should praise God for all His creations..respect of one and another..if God wants to kill us He will but it's US who is killing each other and claiming that it's to defend values..and 'scacred lands' which wont exist forever..so why fight about it..God gaves Us the power to think so we can thrive..we have the power to live in space to look for places to live but we are more interested in controlling ourselves than enjoying the gift of life and intelligence.I can hardly imagine a powerful God making errors in making people,man and woman.

Every religion teaches that followers of other religions are wrong, deceived, bound for hell, etc. Most people belong to only one religion at a time. Therefore, no religion can be true at ANY time.

Setting aside any Bible issues, a true religion:
Believes in obeying the law, even the inconvenient ones, such as speed limits when late for work;
Believes in paying taxes, even though there are many ways they could avoid them, as many religions do;
Believes in keeping their word, such as to the IRS that they will not promote politics in the church, and they actually mean it;
Teaches their youth that waiting until marriage is preferable to using protection, and for the most part, the youths actually believe it....As a result, they have the lowest rates of out-of-wedlock births and STDs....Yes, there is the occasional ones who would rather have their fun now than wait, but there are far more who choose to wait;
Treats their youth with respect, not just "do what you're told!";
Teaches their youths side by side with the adults, the Bible as a whole, and not just Bible stories....The very young may not understand what they are being taught, but by the time you reach the age of understanding, they have a good basic knowledge of the scriptures;
Have congregations never get so large that the individual gets lost in the crowd and since everyone is taught the same, it is easy to start a new congregation, with a set of elders;
Has members who know all other members, whether in their congregation, their city, or their county....When Katrina happened, they made sure everyone living in New Orleans could be found in Texas, with every individual accounted for;
Believes their church Halls should compliment a neighborhood, and not overwhelm it, so they are small and don’t include a lot of expensive decorative features....Each church can hold up to four congregations;
Encourage all their members to read the whole Bible and submit their thoughts to see whether the religion could be following God’s Word better;
Can have every member, over the age of 12 answer the following question without just referring to a secular holiday in May:
WHAT DAY DO YOU OBSERVE THE MEMORIAL ON?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds the true Priesthood - which Priesthood is required to perform the ordinances of salvation (such as baptism) and have them be recognized by God as valid.
The Priesthood was previously on the Earth...and Jesus Christ held it and also His apostles...When Jesus was crucified and apostles killed (known as the "Great Apostasy") the Priesthood was lost...but in these latter days...the Priesthood has been restored to the Earth. (Isaiah 29:14)
The best way to know is to ask God...and have Him reveal it to you...that way you will know for yourself.

All religion is false. Believe in Jesus Christ and look to Him, not man made religion. Sinful humankind has manufactured religion. It is our way to try and appease Holy God. Do this and Don't do that. Jesus taught about human religion and He told us to avoid being caught up in it. God made it very simple for us to be saved from our sin. Simply, Believe Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be (God Almighty) and follow Him. Let God make the changes in you and make you Holy. We are not to strive to do good deeds, rather, we are to let Gods Holy Spirit do His good deeds through us. We do not take any of the credit for the good deeds we do, rather we give all praise and Glory to God the Father, for producing those good deeds in us.

Jesus Christ said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." John 14:6
Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!
