The only way to know for sure is to die. Kinda the ultimate paradox, isn't it?
Really, it seems quite obvious that there is no "right" religion. If there was, wouldn't a god who demanded such worship have set the guidelines someplace where all could view them and never question them? Or, wouldn't he had given humans an innate sense of what the proper religion/worship is? Instead, Religion is based on the part of the world you live in and the religions you have been exposed to.

No. There is no religion which is right. Yes, all religion is man-made. It started as a way to explain things in the old days, before science came along. Also it was a way to control people (and it still is).

yes they are are all the right one, and all the wrong one, depending on your perspective, perceptions and spiritual, emotional and mental needs.
What is right for one is not going to be right for another. If you find your peace, and comfort and meaning with out harming others than you have found the right one for you.
Whether religion is man made or not also depends on your values, beliefs and ideology, for those whose faith is strong in a religion that said their religion came from god, they would deny that it is man made. For those who can see the historical trends of man using the spiritual values and ideals of others to form organizations for gain or political power will of course say religion is man made.
It is a question that has no clear answer as it can only be answered by each individual as to what resonates as truth for them.

As you say, religion maybe man made, but what most religions ask is "Who made man?" and "What is man's purpose?" Each person must search in their own soul, or whatever you would like to call it, as to what is the truth.

Of course "religion" is man made. Think of it this way. What do you believe in? Is it what the church down the street says to believe in or is it what you know because you have read it in the Bible. Why do we have the Bible, do you know? Its a love letter from God. Yes there are some real life instances in there that seem mean, but God shall not be mocked. Do not beleive somethine becasue a preacher says its right. Find a Bible believing church that doesn't pick and choose how to pray because it what they think. Choose a church who does things the way the bible says to. The bible has never been changed. It is the same just as God is the same. People/Humans have made the bible fit to their lifestyles. We are supposed to adapt to God not God adapt to us. He is perferct and we are not that is why we need to see God how he really is and we find that in the HOLY BIBLE. Not the mormon, catholic , budha adn muslim beliefs. Why believe in a God who has died, like; Budha he died and hasn't came back to life to save the ones he supposively Loves. Jesus sacrificed himself to saves us from total damnation from God. Three days later he rose from the dead and the greatest sacrifice of all was completed. It is called Salvation. Those who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of our entire lives have rec that salvation and those who haven't will end up in a place of terror and pain forever, unless they accept Jesus as savior.Since the beginning God has always given us the right to choose. Choose right from worng. Some of us will choose and life and some will choose death. God doesn't send us we send ourselves.It hurts God because he loves us so much he has to see his children be away from him forever. If you have parents. God is a father to us. He has more mercy and forgiveness than anyone you know, but he will not be mocked as I said before. He has know you since before you were even conceived and thought of, he just wants you to know him so that he can bless you with more than you could ever ask or think. Mentally, emotionally. physically and most of all spiritually. If you like to know him all you have to do is say Jesus i am a sinner and I ask that i woould be forgiven of all my sins. Please come into my life and help me to be the person you want me to be. I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that you are Lord and were raised from the dead three days after you were crucified, so because of that I am saved according to your word God. I love you and thank you, always I pray in Jesus' Name.Religion is just a name, Amen. Christianity is to Follow Jesus' ways. I call myself a christian , but over all I am a believer. I believe all that i just mentioned in here. Nothing can ever convince me otherwise.
