There are so many religions in the world and all of them say they are the only true one. Who is right?

Question

(I am atheist)

Answer 1

no one knows who is write or wrong and ever religion know that. im atheist too but im not going to go round preaching im the only right religion because I notice that there are other religions out there that think there right too . the only way we will know is when we die

Answer 2

Exactly the right question! Some believe in lots of gods, some believe in one god. They can't both be correct! I agree that only one religion can be correct.

So which one? You won't know until you start searching. Seriously.

It would be good to see what the religions say about Jesus. You cannot easily deny that there was a man called Jesus that lived around 2000 years ago. Some say he was a prophet, or a good teacher, or some crazy lunatic. Some say he was God.

It seems to me that all religions point to Jesus and at least give him some credit. Jesus only points to Himself.

But don't just take my word for it. Search for yourself.

Some good books would be:
"More Than a Carpenter" and "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" by Josh McDowell. He was an atheist too, so you might start by reading his research.

Answer 3

Religion is whatever you feel is right.
How do you know what you feel is right? Haven't your feelings ever turned out to be wrong? Are you are saying that what you feel determines truth? If so, then you are putting yourself in the place of God, and looking to yourself for what you "feel" is right.
If religion is whatever you feel is right, then that could lead to chaos. What if some people had a religion where they felt stealing was acceptable? And what about lying and cheating? Would you trust someone who believed in a religion that felt it was all right to steal, lie, and cheat?
Hitler felt killing Jews was right. He was wrong. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful and untrustworthy (Jer. 17:9). If you could come to know truth by what you felt, then the Bible, which is the revelation of God, didn't need to be written. But it has been written, and it has revealed that only God is the Source of truth, not your feelings.
I've never known truth to contradict itself. What if someone felt that something was right, and another person felt it was wrong? Would they both be right? If your statement is true, then how could there be a contradiction like that, if feelings determined truth?
All religions are different paths to the same place.
If all religions are different paths to the same place, then why do the paths contradict each other? Does truth contradict itself? Let's review the teachings of just three religions:
Buddhism is pantheistic and says there is no personal God and everyone can reach "godlikeness" on his own. Islam says that Jesus was just a prophet, and not the only way to God. Christianity says that there is a personal God, and that the only way to Him is through Jesus (John 14:6). If these three religions are, as you say, different paths to the same place, then why do they contradict each other? Does truth contradict itself?

Answer 4

I guess that would depend on where you pull the source of your answer. Depending on which "holy writings" you read. As an atheist the first question is, How did we get here? If you sincerely believe that it is Evolution. Then don't waist your time asking religious questions.

My self... I believe the bible is the only true source of answers. It has proved it self to me. Decide if the bible works for you, then read for yourself, it clearly defines the true religion, and all other religions that do not live exactly by it would be False Religion.

Answer 5

Religion is not important as a matter of fact religion will confuse you and get you into trouble its all in having a peronal relationship with God that counts there are several religions but only one God,so dont worry about what religion is right worry about your relationship with God.

Answer 6

These writings explain the Fathers' interpretation of Scripture and demonstrate that the early Church was unequivocally Catholic. Through the study of Scripture and the Church Fathers, we see that, not only is the Catholic faith biblical, Catholicism is Bible Christianity par excellence.

Because the Old and New Testament Scriptures are the divinely-revealed, written Word of God, Catholics venerate the Scriptures as they venerate the Lord's body. But Catholics do not believe that God has given us His divine Revelation in Christ exclusively through Scripture. Catholics also believe that God's Revelation comes to us through the Apostolic Tradition and teaching authority of the Church.

What Church? Scripture reveals this Church to be the one Jesus Christ built upon the rock of Saint Peter (Matt. 16:18). By giving Peter the keys of authority (Matt. 16:19), Jesus appointed Peter as the chief steward over His earthly kingdom (cf. Isaiah. 22:19-22). Jesus also charged Peter to be the source of strength for the rest of the apostles (Luke 22:32) and the earthly shepherd of Jesus' flock (John 21:15-17). Jesus further gave Peter, and the apostles and elders in union with him, the power to bind and loose in heaven what they bound and loosed on earth. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18). This teaching authority did not die with Peter and the apostles, but was transferred to future bishops through the laying on of hands (e.g., Acts 1:20; 6:6; 13:3; 8:18; 9:17; 1 Tim. 4:14; 5:22; 2 Tim. 1:6).

By virtue of this divinely-appointed authority, the Catholic Church determined the canon of Scripture (what books belong in the Bible) at the end of the fourth century. We therefore believe in the Scriptures on the authority of the Catholic Church. After all, nothing in Scripture tells us what Scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the Bible, or that Scripture is the final authority on questions concerning the Christian faith. Instead, the Bible says that the Church, not the Scriptures, is the pinnacle and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15) and the final arbiter on questions of the Christian faith (Matt. 18:17). It is through the teaching authority and Apostolic Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15; 3:6; 1 Cor. 11:2) of this Church, who is guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,26; 16:13), that we know of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and the manifold wisdom of God. (cf. Ephesians 3:10).
