Since recorded history, humans have created almost 3,000 gods*. Since all religions can't be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong. True or false?

That would be the most logical conclusion based on your assumption. However, if this was an SAT question, you would have to answer "False". The reason is this: If you span every religion, they have similarities to each other. These similarities link one measure of faith to another to a degree that all religions are linked, Theistic and Anti-Theistic. In addition, you have to allow that ONE could possibly be be right, thus leaving all but one to be wrong. Now, it is not possible for TWO or MORE to be right at the same time, under this possibility. But to eliminate the possibility that one could be right would imply that you would have irrefutable and undeniable evidence that no one could find reason or fault with, and that is an impossibility.

Hope this helps...

So many people cares about religion whilst at the same time they who claim having religion mostly deny or doing the forbidden things written in their Holy Book.
Not only that each religion people think that their religion is the best but inside of the same religion they make their own groups and interpretations which then say that their own interpretation is the right one ...further more, inside of the small group each of the person thinks that they are a better person than the other.
This to me symply means that each person believe in something which they want to believe, it is very private and personal.
Who knows which religion is the right ones when everybody say theirs is right. In the other hand I dont regard that all religions are wrong.

In this world, something becoming right/said it is right when lots of people say it is right until it proves to be wrong or shows to be wrong. That is why in this section you can see people are competing to say that they are right, some in a stupid way some in a smarter way. Religion have a great deal with quantity, but at the same time, religion is also a "place" to seek spirituality.

So any religion without spirituality sense in it, is not a religion but is just an organization of bunch of people who have a great dillusion of grandeurs.

Say Budhism; It is not class as a religion , or the Taoism, I dont know why except it did not come from "those geographycal area " but they sure have lots of followers and sure they have sprituality sense/ the abstracts.

So, true or false is all and only in people's mind. At least that is what I think.

To say that a religion is "right" or "wrong" unfortunately is a misnomer. It would be to say that the shirt your are wearing right now is "wrong", or people who like barbeque chicken are "right". I think perhaps you are confounding the question with another underlying question of origin.

'The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.' **That being said, the correctness or incorrectness is totally irrelevant when it come to various religions. It's more of a social and community practice that people choose to, or don't choose to engage in.

I would dare to speculate that perhaps you have more of a specific question regarding fundamental truths...{Like the "meaning of life" or "is there a God"} those of which have not been proven or disproven by fact or majority rule.

Religion, or spiritual faith, is basically having an irrational belief in that which is not rational and/or cannot be scientifically proven. But it's very important for people to have religion, should they choose to. It unites people, creates brotherhoods, and strengthens hearts in ways nothing else on this earth ever could.

There are quite a bit more than 3000. Hindu has thousands to itself (though some will claim they are all aspects of one single deity, some believe they are all separate). I'd have to ask though... are you referring to Truth as it is absolute? There could be no other way? Absolutely nothing is wrong within this "Truth"? And if it's False... does it make everything said about it false? Including things such as morals hidden within the myths? Or are you only referring to belief itself?

This whole "if it isn't right it must be wrong" absolute is exactly how mainstream religions represent themselves. But this is not to say that all do this... nor do all "followers" believe everything which is represented about their respective beliefs.

Be specific.

1 John 4:1-3 New International Version (NIV) On Denying the Incarnation 4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

The answer is cloudy, try again later................

Really, though, the answer is "False".

In early times, ALL scientists thought that the earth was flat and that one would sail off the earth if they went too far. Does 100% of everybody make something a universal truth? The "truth" is independent of majority or minority thought, and has nothing to do with "probabilities". The "truth" occurs independently of other events and neither builds nor complements; it just is. Some "truths" must be discovered like "gravity"; some may never be discovered like "time" or the "universe" . There are "truths" for everything; we just may not know them, have them revealed to us or discover them in our life time! Does that make them any less of a "truth"? There were many that went to their graves never knowing the "truth" about "gravity". Did that make it any less of a "truth"? The answer, as you know, would be of course not. Therefore, your answer would be "False". Very good question, my friend.

I'm starting to think that, also. Even the major, most popular religions differ wildly from one another. What could make 1 more valid when theres no proof for any of them? Its just personal belief. So I think thats at least the most reasonable. Good question, too!

there are many religions in this world that were created by men. All of them are false. There is only one religion that is true, and it was not created by man, it was started by God, and men who believed in it followed it. For me, Christianity is the true religion.

In my opinion:
Many followers of Christianity strayed away from the path of God and made their own religion based on Christianity. How? They took the word of God, added messages and "gospels" into it and deleted some of its contents. And a new but false religion was born. Then, the problem is that those who started this religion will claim that this is the true religion. But actually it is a false religion based on a true religion.

true and false. All religions have the basic foundation right. They all believe there is a higher power. But thats where it starts and finishes.
