There is nothing wrong with how you feel. I am an atheist. I am, however, a person who honors the ten commandments, believe that everyone has the responsibility to work together to make the world a better place for everyone, and try to do no harm. I certainly am not perfect, but that's OK too. Error gives us an opportunity to evaluate decision. Atheism is not a religion. It is simply a philosophy. Religions are simply representations of diverse interpretations of the bible, which by the way, is only a document of revisionist history, and at best, is very inaccurate. Association with any religion is a matter of personal choice. Religion is also the largest business in our world.

"Why do i feel like all religions are wrong? I just feel like there wrong in someway.?"
I don't know why you feel that way, but I have to say that I wouldn't contest someone feeling that way. I can tell you why I think that way.
I think that the word, 'religion' has taken on so many meanings which are not going in the direction of God's relationship to those who trust Him.
You've seen the type of behavior that people do: they wear the right clothes, go to church or mosque or temple on a certain day at a certain time. They say what is approved to say, act like a person of that religion ought to act. Do their prayers on cue, stand up, sit down, chant the right things at the right time, etc.
That's religion.
That's being religious.
But spirituality is different than that. It's spontaneous. It's a willful placing of one's time into the practice of connecting to God. It's attempting to listen for what God is desiring to do. The setting aside of our own desires and attempting to recognize what God places as value. In saying so, it's dying to 'the self' in order that our spirit is aligning with God.
So the rituals of religion is expression externally, it might satisfy the requirements of religion, but the spiritual part of an individual does not require them. Spirituality is the 'expressions of the spirit'. It goes on inside.

That feeling usualy comes from your lack of knowledge about these religions. you should read about these religions in more detail, from their sources (i suggest reading the main religious text ei. The Bible for Christians and Jews, The Quraan for Muslims and so forth). Then after you have more of a clear grasp and understanding take it from there. Thats what i did

You have a difficult time believing in an imaginary friend on faith. Also, the religions contradict each other on certain things, so couldn't all be right.

Because they can't all be right? Because they talk poop?
There are so many answers to your question ;-)
One of them above attempted to say that Christianity isn't a 'religion' it's a 'relationship'.
Which begs the question, why aren't all Christians in the 'relationship' section instead...?
Etc, etc..

The probably are.
Any theory that attempt to explain, literally, "everything" is probably incorrect in some way.
However.... its possible one is closer to the truth than the otheres. I just find that unlikely.

Ok, I need to answer your question with questions and let you supply the answer. This was a tactic used by Jesus.
Who is the prince of this world? God or Satan? Satan, of course.
Therefore, who wants you to disbelieve a faith in God? Satan, of course.
Then it is Satan telling you not to believe because he wants your doubt leaving you separate from God. To be a child of God, you must believe more than Satan does. Satan believed and trembled. You have to believe stronger than that in order to be saved by God.

They are, I don't know if all of them, but the ones I heard about are definitely wrong. I think it's completely wrong to claim we know what/who god really is and what he wants from us

You shouldn't be seeking out religions but God. The truth is in his Word. Begin by reading the New Testament. Don't read into religion, trust God.
