Islam, which is the final message sent from the one God of this universe to mankind. It came to confirm previous messages (sent to Moses and Jesus) and to complete it to be suitable for all times and all people.

There isn't one. As long as your spiritual system teaches kindness and empathy for your fellow man, good over evil, and the recognition of a "higher power" it is a "true" religion. We get too "caught up" in the names and differences to recognize that religions are more alike than different. The difference isn't about trying to attain the goal of everlasting life and peace, but rather the path one takes to get there. Some people accept Jesus as their savior, while others believe that Jesus, was not much more than a regular man. Some people call on their ancestors or their own personal guardian angels for guidance. Some people believe that prayer can be elevated by offerings while others believe that "good works" is the ticket. We all aim to end up in the rapture. We just call on different entities to help us along the way.

nobody knows this. it could even be Scientology for all i know. however i believe that becoming a born again christian through the acceptance that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save me from eternal death is the true religion. but then again i don't see Christianity as a religion but a way to live your life. every other religion i have ever heard of is that you have to work and pay your way for the love and forgiveness that God (the one i believe in) so willing just gives to us. which one would you prefer? but it is something that you have to be sincere about in the whole thing. the only thing you do have to make an effort in is the relationship you develop with Christ and the rest just follows!! Easy as pie!! but in the end it is up to you what you believe in and never be afraid of asking questions. doubts can be good!

I believe that many religions can lead us to God, or Ultimate Truth, or whatever you wish to call It. I believe that the religion which best leads you to God and a moral life is the one that you ought to follow. If religion prevents you from achieving that, then no religion should be followed. We are all different and have different cultural understandings and different needs. The religion that works for you may not work for me.
This does not mean that truth is relative. But religions are only paths to the truth, not the truth themselves.

True religion is the antithesis of true spirituality. It is filled with dogma and fettered with ritual and is the antonym of what it means to be a child of the Creator, whatever Creator you worship. Religion of any ilk has caused more damage to the soul of humans than any other single thing in the history of mankind. Religion will keep you from ever having a real and dynamic relationship with whatever God you worship.

LOL is this a joke?
There is no true religion. The only true religion is what you choose to believe in as true.

Why do people ask people what the true religion is? Why dont you ask God. Just ask him! If Jesus is really God, then show me the truth. He wont let you down..

which ever one you call true, the truth is just a label, and it's relative to the observer. This observer says there is no true religion.

That's like asking which superhero is real.
Nobody has ever provided any evidence that any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
