Spiritually, no. There is one way to eternal life - through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet, almost all religions or beliefs teach that their way is the way to everlasting life. One thing you must do, as a person, is decide for yourself what you think the Bible teaches and how that impacts your life.

Depends on what you call a "religion or belief."
If you call devotion to the Great Spaghetti Monster a "belief," then probably not. It will lead to a few good laughs, though.
Is Satanism a "religion"? Are cults "religions"?
I think a devotion to a loving deity, even if you don't call him God in English, will lead you down the right path, though.
But JWs aren't the only ones who believe that: I know that the Society of Friends (Quakers) believe that, and up till recently -- this ex-Nazi pope -- the Catholic church taught something like that too.

No, there is a straight and narrow way and the only way to the father is through Jesus. Not the the jesus of mormonism who is the brother of the devil or the jesus of the jw's who is Michael the archangel.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matt. 7:13-14
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. Prov. 14:12
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

Nope. Atheism, which is the non-belief in any God says that life is it. After which is nothing.
That's the most popular one (and the one most offending to religious types) that deals strictly with life only. There are probably others, but they don't advertise much as they don't want Zealots coming around trying to convert them...

Jesus is the way the truth and the life, "religion" has little to do with it as an organization. The point is people depend on Going to church to "SAVE" them but they have very little relationship with the ONE who saves. Read the Bible for yourself get to know God for yourself. If along the way you find a "religion" that teaches EVERYTHING in the Bible join that one but follow God even if nobody else does.

Yes and no. I believe the soul has ever lasting life but that it can stretch several "human" lifetimes. What makes me so special that this is a one shot deal? How can I possibly learn all my soul needs to know in just a few years??

That's what religion is, a way of cheating death. Some religions send the "souls" to heaven. Some recycle them through reincarnation.

The only religion and God that can lead to eternal life is the one that possess eternal life within itself. Christianity is not a religion in the sense of Confuscianism or Islam but rather the life of God in Christ. Jesus is the religion and the reality. Since Christ is eternal and has eternal life within himself, then all who are in Christ possess that eternal life.
