Yes, I do. I believe there is a Truth, but it can be found in all religions, under different views. Religion is just a tool to communicate with spirituality and with your inner self and since each one of us has a different point of view, we choose the tool that is more appropriate to us.
Religion is like lots of pairs of glasses in different colors. We choose the pair of glasses that fits better to us and the color we like most. However, we all see the same thing through different lenses. The problem is when those wearing the blue glasses fight with the ones wearing the yellow glasses, claiming that what they see is really blue. Delusion, you're right.
My religion accepts all the differences, though. My religion is Spiritism.
Peace!
Peace!

Not all religions believe this. Most (if not all) Pagan religions believe that all possitive, life-affirming religions are valid paths.
But yes, I do think those religious believers who think there's is the one, true religion are delusional. There is absolutely know way to know, with the limited knowledge that we have at this time, what the truth about the afterlife is (although we may discover it some day).

Well first of all, not all religions see that there is only one supreme religion...like christianity, it doesn't necessarily say it is supreme. but there are others that see it that way.. still you can't blame them and say there delusional. this is because it is there own belief. You can be called delusional if you see cats where dogs are or if you see men were birds are flying. but never can you say that one is delusional when it comes to religion. this is because each one is entitled to his/her own faith. you cannot say that he/she is delusional because he/she believes his/her religion is above all, or is the true one for it is his/her belief. if you say he/she is delusional, you might be implementing that your religion is the one true religion which in turn makes you delusional if it is based on your question.. so there really is no delusional, crazy, insane wacko just because he/she believes her religion is best since he/she is as entitled to his/her belief as you are.....
-good day!

False premise.
Bah'ai teaches that all religions are equally INvalid. The point is that God sends messengers to us. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed (pbuh), Buddha, Confucius, Lao-Tse, The Bab, Chuck Norris...and as often as not, mankind ignores the message and slaughters the messenger. So God sends another messenger, and another, and another, and eventually, *some* people actually get the message and they find their true faith.
Any religion that claims to have a monopoly on salvation is on the road to hell. Which is where any such bigot belongs.

Not every religion believes this. However, in general this type of behavior (thinking that the group you are in is the best, right, most correct one) is known as centrism such as in Ethno-centrism which is the belief that the ethnic group you belong to is the best. You can apply this concept to any type of group and you will generally find it holds true. People in a particular company believe theirs is the best, those in a particular country or government believe theirs is the the best. same thing applies to religions.

There are many religions that believe this, but not all believe that theirs is the one true religion. I think no one can really know which religion is the true one, or if god even exists until they die.

That isn't actually true, there are quite a large number of syncratic religions. In fact, early Judaism was syncratic or it couldn't discuss other gods as being real.

Its delusional to allow yourself to be governed and controlled by those who have created the religions.

no it is like every mother thinks her baby is the best one. It is delusional to think that all religions are equal
