Are Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Doaism, ect really different, or are they all much more alike than different?

There are two major groups in the list you have given.
Christanity, Islam and Judaism are monotheistic, God the creator, based religions which have a common ancestry and fundamentally the same belief structure.
Buddhism, Hinduism and Doaism are pantheistic without a clear creation story based on a supreme being. They also have a common ancestry although not so closely linked as the first group.
All of them have a similar target and similar moral codes although there are great differences in how they are applied.
Whether they are all trying to lead to the same place is debatable since some seek heaven, some seek wisdom on earth but all seek a more peaceful and structured civilization.

You know this is a question that all people ask . I can tell you according to the only way(the holy bible)
take a look at these scriptures
1 Joh 4:1-false prophets entering in the world and also talks of not believing every inspired expression
Matt 7:21 not everyone saying lord lord will enter the gates
matt 7:22 even if good works are done
So as we see not all religions are acceptable to god.Actually god only tells us there is one religion
(eph 4:5,13),Many religions change doctrine but it is condemned Rev 22:18,19

Yes. In the Muslim Holy Book, the Quran, God says he gave people different revelations so that he can test them by it. Some religious people do as such, but many (Most) use religion as a dividing device with mankind when it is purely meant to unite mankind in competing with good actions.
Like the Olympics.

They absolutely lead to the same place, that's also a fundamental Hindu belief...that no one is wrong in their approach, so long as it's in good faith.
