How many religions make claims to be the only way to God.?

Question

I am curious and want to identify all the religions that are based on the lie that they are the only way to God.

I do not believe that Buddhism makes this claim. Unitatians do not make that claim too.

Answer 1

Pretty much all the mainstream ones, although many won't come right out and admit it. They use the "it's not our place to judge" default mode

Answer 2

You don't sound curious. Curious people approach situations with an open mind, you clearly already made your decision that religion is lies.
I am not an expert on religion, but my guess would be that most if not all religions teach this. It would make sense since the whole point of religion is to ultimately find God, so they all probably beleive that there way is the only way to God.

Answer 3

--There are 2 religions, false & the true. There are 2 that receive the main thrust of worship.

1. Jehovah the God of the Bible

2. Satan the main one that recieves all misdirected worship--of every false religion, INCLUDING the false gods of politics, sports, business, entertainment, Narcissism -in a CONGLOMERATE of all kinds ----and every kind of of situation that indeed man conjures up, for themselves, any convient form of idolatry!

--So if you claim that all religions are a lie, then where is the religion that the truth exists in.

---FOR IF THE FALSE EXISTS, SO ALSO MUST THE TRUE--you cannot have one without the other!
--JUST AS when your child tells a lie, THEN there has to be a truth that he is lying about----IT IS INDEED THAT SIMPLE--whether you reject it or not, does not matter!

--Whether you like it or not it has to be found in 1 religion and that is the true worship that the Bible advocates----LIKE IT OR NOT!---There has to be a source of ultimate truth!

--iF you reject Jesus teachings of truth about his father, Jehovah God ---then you have to find a cheap substitute--THAT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT!--In this entire phoney world!

Answer 4

Why are you curious about it if you think it is a lie? It's a reason for your curiosity. You are seeking the truth. The truth is:
Jesus Christ is our everlasting Lord and King. He is someone that you can actually have a real, eternal relationship with. He is living and not dead. He created all things (Colossians 1:16). He came to earth, died for our sins and was resurrected with all power. No matter what mess we have been in, He can save us from all of our sins and He paid our death penalty when He died for us on the cross. He lives! (John 3:16) - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." If He is calling you, I pray that you will answer the call.

Answer 5

You can count most of Wicca out of that list. Many Wiccans believe that all religions are valid paths to the Divine, which in part explains why they don't go out and prosyletize the way some other faiths do.

Answer 6

That's going to be a long list. Maybe you should ask how many religions don't make claims to be the only way to God, for brevity.

Answer 7

Religions? I'd say two. Christianity and Islam.

However, there are so many sects of Christianity that claim their sect is the only right one, and all others are false Christians, that its hard to determine how many different sub-catagories there are within Christianity. (Liberal Christians tend to not think this way.)

Answer 8

The Christian belief held by some is that the only way to God is through Jesus. I personally believe that for us Christians the only way to God is through Jesus...but other beliefs do have other pathways to the same God. 3b

Answer 9

Islam and Christianity boast that statement the most. I have never heard any followers of Judaism make that claim.

Answer 10

I don't know. Lots. To say it's a lie is just nastiness. Whether or not we are in error is one thing, but to call it a lie is something a bit more devious. You have a nasty attitude toward those of faith. I wonder why your here.
