No, because God doesn't exist. That's why there are so many religions. There are no real gods to set them straight.

If you believe that all religions are sufficient to reconcile humanity to God, but also believe that all religions have elements of falsehood, then how do you know what to believe?
Christians have this one promise given by Jesus Christ: "I am the resurrection and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except by Me." Either Jesus was a liar or He was completely truthful. Because I cannot identify any lies He told that are recorded in Scripture, I must conclude He always tells the truth. This means He IS the only way. If I am ever inclined to doubt His promises, then I consider this: would 11 men WILLINGLY be beaten, imprisoned, starved, then either crucified or beheaded for a lie? Yet all 11 of these men actually walked with Jesus (the Apostles who were killed; this excludes John) AND He appeared to them after He was crucified (all of them).
There is a Mosaic Law that says a matter is proven to be true by the testimony of two or three witnesses. In this case, Jesus has 12 Apostolic witnesses (including Paul), and thousands of disciples who also witnessed His resurrection. I know these witnesses tell the truth, because they were willing to die for what they saw and heard. Therefore, it's the truth and I don't have to concern myself with the validity of other religions, such as Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism -- I KNOW they're all false.

The word of God (if he exists) if introduced somewhere will result in a religion. This means that we must realize that the "word of God" is not the same as religion. Religion is the subjective understanding of people to that word. Hence, as we are not as smart and perfect as we may think, there will be mistakes in all religions. Thus, i guess that god does not want people to follow a particular religion as much as he wants them to commit to certain ideas and principles. i personally think that the principles are that we must believe in him alone, in the judgment day and do good deeds.
Peace

The Almighty (YHVH) spreads truth. Man mixes error into that truth. Sometimes one error, and sometimes another, and often many errors. The the Almighty calls another being out of Paganism into eternal life. Scripture is reasonably clear, and adequately pure. However translators have hidden some things, but searching will find them. The Savior's name is Yahoshua. (His name means YHVH is my Savior) The Holy Spirit is able to make you wise unto salvation. (2 Tim 3:15)

The Word of God in every religion is truth, but the word of man (human interpretation of the Word) is always subject to error.
“Know thou assuredly that the essence of all the Prophets of God is one and the same. Their unity is absolute. God, the Creator, saith: There is no distinction whatsoever among the Bearers of My Message. They all have but one purpose; their secret is the same secret. To prefer one in honor to another, to exalt certain ones above the rest, is in no wise to be permitted. Every true Prophet hath regarded His Message as fundamentally the same as the Revelation of every other Prophet gone before Him. …
The measure of the revelation of the Prophets of God in this world, however, must differ. Each and every one of them hath been the Bearer of a distinct Message, and hath been commissioned to reveal Himself through specific acts. It is for this reason that they appear to vary in their greatness. …
… God’s purpose in sending His Prophets unto men is twofold. The first is to liberate the children of men from the darkness of ignorance, and guide them to the light of true understanding. The second is to ensure the peace and tranquility of mankind, and provide all the means by which they can be established. …” -Baha'u'llah

Yes my friend that is the reason. HUMAN Interpretations and TRANSLATIONS of Gods Word. IF one would go and take the ORIGINAL Languages and translate the Word of God the way it is supposed to be, a lot of eyes would be opened. MAN makes mistakes, God does not.

God's word is perfect, man is not. But God uses people to spread His word and it is the Holy Spirit that reveals God's word to people. So when someone is talking, blah blah blah, the person hearing hears what the Holy Spirit is revealing to his heart.

All religious scriptures have some truths and Errors. The biggest error being the very basis on which they are built up on. The perceived existence of their God or Gods

God spreads his word everyday, all over the place. Problem is nobody's listening.

Not if they interpreted it correctly. Obviously.
God is a myth anyway.
