I assume that you don't want a list... that would be *VERY* long for the many Religions.... But to put it in a nut shell... any religion (including the non religion, Atheism) could logically be correct in their belief systems.... or it is logically possible for all of them to be totally incorrect in their beliefs... but what is not logically possible is for *all* of them to be correct... many are mutually exclusive in their beliefs... For example one can not be a true Christian and *anything* else.... The Christian belief system precludes that.. none of this is good, bad, or indifferent... it's just logic...

Many people say that different religions are simply different roads leading to the same goal. After all, there is only one God, right?’ That sentiment is shared by many who feel that although religious affiliation is important, it does not really matter which religion one chooses to follow.
At first glance, this argument may seem plausible, since it is true that there is only one God, the Almighty. (Isaiah 44:6; John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) However, there are obvious differences—even contradictions—among the many religious groups who claim to serve the true God. They differ greatly in their practices, their beliefs, their teachings, and their requirements. The differences are so great that those belonging to one religion or group find it difficult to understand or accept what the others teach or believe.
On the other hand, Jesus said: “God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) This leaves us with a question to think about - Does worshiping God who is perfect allow for a range of contradictory ideas about who God is, what his purposes are, and how he wants to be worshiped?

The understanding I have come to is that each person that got a revelation from God built a denomination on that scripture and stayed there
that is where they all come from
you know like the Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians etc: etc:
most people don't grow in their faith and fellowship with God so they all dissent over scriptures oddly enough

Religions are generally about man trying to please / pacify a deity or deities. They are about man reaching out to God.
Biblical Christianity, in contrast, is about God reaching out to man. It shows that men are sinful and can't please God, no matter what they do in the name of religion, and that the only way they can enter a relationship with Him is by trusting that Jesus paid the death penalty for their sins when He died on the cross.

When you strip them all down to the essential cores there are none.
But for most, the customs and culture surrounding vary.

Jesus is God and is the only way to be saved, to believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose again.
Every other belief is false, no matter what it says.
