Ah the question of relativity. Let me start from here:
First to be established: One must be wrong. For example, for the hardcore believer in god versus the atheist. One has to be wrong, logically. God cannot exist and not exist at the same time.
So then, who is right?
"If I believe I am wrong, I am right. If I believe I am right, I have every bit of truth I need."
I forgot who said that.
But it goes to say some very important things.
Ponder it.
I do not believe anyone is wrong.... clearly there are a lot of religions that have a lot of wrong beliefs. Fr example, killing people. But I do not think that they are entirely wrong... just farther away from the truth than other religions. Just at a different spot in their faith journey.
If the truth is truth, they will eventually get there. If not in this life, the next.
those are my thoughts. I am still working through them, so be patient with them please.

I don't make any claim to full or perfect knowledge, and I'm certainly not empowered to tell anyone, including atheists, that they're wrong. I believe certain things to be true based on the Word of God. However, if I ever claim that I am right in all that I believe, then I have no further need to study His Word or continue to seek truth. What I believe has changed before because my understanding of some things became stronger, and I learned other things I now believe to be true that made things I believed previously untrue. I have little doubt that in the years to come, I will learn more and my understanding will, again, increase and slightly alter what I believe, and I will learn more and more and some things I believe now I will not believe then, or if I do believe them, I will not believe them in the same way or for the same reason(s). However, all that being said and admitted upfront, I do have a core of believe that is the foundation upon which all else I believe is built, and I believe anyone who would deny the truth of that core is wrong, but it is not for me to judge it so, only to tell the truth as I know it, with respect, and let the hearer make their own decision. I do not, as some do, use the Bible to back up my claims of the truth, I let the Bible speak for itself, and seek the truth that is in it. As was always so, everyone is free to disagree.

Everyone wants to believe that their path is the only one. However, there are many roads to the same destination.
It is not important what you believe. However, it is paramount that you believe in something.

The ones who can't back up their beliefs with proof, they are the ones that are wrong.
Which basically means that EVERY religion is wrong.

Better to find out who is right.

no one will really accept that they are wrong because they believe that they are all chosen by God to spread His words to mankind.
that is why, religion won't save you, it's your personal relationship with God that will!
