We are all blind, feeling the Elephant. there are many religions because there are many different cultures. Each culture seeks it's spiritual mentor in it's own way and each has as much truth in it's path as it does obfuscation. Compare it to your relationship with your own parents. Each child in the family views their parents as something a little bit different based on how much discipline they receive, how much time they spend with each one, and especially which parent (or parents) was there during a time of crisis. If there can be that much of a filter on individual perceptions, think of how an entire culture can perceive the concept of GOD in a different way based on the conditions under which they live, the culture of their neighbors, and how their day to day lives play out. GOD's approach to us may be very much the same, but since we cannot see GOD, we perceive through whatever limited contact we can make.

We are told in the Bible that in the last days this would happen because there would come a time when man could no longer stay with the truth and would follow after false doctrines. Satan is the one who has created all the false followings as he knows he is taking these people to hell with him. Jesus also warned that in the last days there would arise many false prophets. My advice to everyone is to simply stick to the Bible and don't worry about all the false followings as the Lord holds that they are without excuse and they will be judged accordingly.
