I would say the religion to understand the real nature of 'the reality' is the right religion.
If 'the reality' has 'truth' as one of its attributes then 'truth' becomes one of the attributes of the right religion.
If 'non-violence' or 'care and compassion for others and entire human race and the world' are attributes of the reality then they become attributes of the true religion.
If 'peace', 'divinity' and 'knowledge and wisdom' or 'power' are attributes of the real reality then they become attributes of the right religion.
This is so because as per my philosophical definition the right religion seeks or searches for the real reality. So the attributes of the real reality are indirectly getting sought by the right religion as per its definition and operations or efforts that go within its realms or guided by it.
I am saying that it is the real as well as practical understanding of the reality and what is real makes a religion a right religion.
Not necessarily truth alone will characterize a religion to be the right religion.
So until you know the real reality what attributes are getting sought by the right religion, directly or indirectly ?
Well when you search for the real reality you are indirectly searching for its attributes too though not knowing them explicitly.
But those who have been successful in searching for the real reality can describe its attributes to us on the path.
And then we will seek and search for those attributes knowingly (through their descriptions by others who have been successful before us)
Either way whether you seek the reality and its attributes both knowing them explicitly or not knowing them explicitly, you are searching for the same divine, noble and good attributes or the reality.
You can't go wrong there whether you know those attributes explicitly as a list of qualities or do not know them beforehand as a list.
In a broader perspective the degree to which a religion is seeking and searching for the real reality and its attributes (of goodness etc.) the religion is right to that much degree.

A very good question, thank you.
If one is wholeheartedly personally seeking for Absolute and/or Infinite Truth, then that is true religion --seeking a relationship with Truth or perfect Reality or God.
Some people are only interested in simple truth facts such as how much horsepower they can add to their racing car, or the best way to keep meat in their freezer. That is surely not religion which is the seeking and finding of a personal destiny Relationship with God:Truth:pure Reality.
Jesus tells us in John ch 16:7-16 that HE (not "IT") the Spirit of Truth is now freely down-pouring upon all flesh; (all humans) and HE will personally lead and lovingly guide us into ALL TRUTH ! YES ! HE IS I AM here upon all of us !
All major religions which believe in a personal God of love and salvation do contain some valuable Truths that should also be accepted by Truth seekers in other religions. It is a shame that most religionists only seek to attack the differences of other religionists and not find and reinforce the common Truths. Jesus is always positive and adds Living Truths much more than removing the errors of religion and philosophy. We should strive to do the same.
Peace and progress,

Good question!
If the spiritual thirst is based on the understanding of and dissatisfaction with how transient or impermanent everything is in this world, then truth indeed is the best religion since truth is defined by consistency. What is more important is the fact that the search for truth can never afford to be dogmatic and that is why it would need to be very different from how any religion is actually practiced with fixed rules and rituals.

There many truths. Some are higher truths and some are not as high. The Absolute Truth is God and That truth is beyond any religious designation. It is Unchangeable. Though He does make the laws of nature to protect us and we should follow. Many religious rituals and practices vary in different traditions but these are not absolute yet they are truths. They are not necessarily spiritual but may be necessary in ones practice to come to the next step. Certain rules may vary from one religion to another and they are truth but they are not necessarily on the absolute platform. Krishna says in Gita "Abandon varieties of Religion and just surrender unto Me, I will protect you, do not fear." That does not mean not to follow religious principles, it means abandon materialistic ritual religion for sense gratification and economic development and To accept God (Krishna) as one beyond Religious designation. One God many Religions. To think that others are not worshiping God though a different religion than oneself is sectarian religion and should be understood. World Peace.

I believe spirituality is the right religion. It's a combination of a lot of things based on our own individual beliefs.
When you are around someone spiritual there is an "Ora" that surrounds them. A calmness, a feeling that they are at peace with themselves and live by their truths, whatever they conceive them to be.

The only religion which deals strictly in being a seeker of truth is the Sikh Religion. Of mostly hindus and indian decent.
If you ever see a hindu wearing a silver or gold bracelet on the right arm then you automatically know they are Seekers of Truth aka Sikh Religion.

Religion suggests something man-made; and not all man-made items are truthful. Truth itself is unchanged and unchanging, will always be and as we trudge through life more of the truth is revealed. It is up to the individual whether to accept the truth and seek more of it's guidance or just ignore it.

for my area convinced yet this would determination searching on the guy. i do no longer have self assurance that all and multiple different religions are pretend because lots of the significant religions around the world resemble one yet another. For me i do not see islam for what that's shown contained in the media yet really what that's contained in the quran. a lot of human beings attempt to coach that the quran is pretend in spite of the indisputable fact that for my area I really have thoroughly study and understood the quran as an complete it is why i have self assurance in it in spite of the indisputable fact that once back it really relies upon on the guy and in the journey that they open their heart and their thoughts in the route of Allah and make an attempt to understand the religion

Ultimately it should be! For it will be the convergent point of all religions, for although truth and faith are contradictories and faith hides more than truth can spotlight the areas it hides or eludes, it will be harmony if the ultimate alliance between them has been forged in the end, no matter how farfetched.

Truth and faith are intertwined on a philosophical level.
Truth is faith. You have faith in your eyes and ears, that they won't fail you, but sometime they do when you're colorblind or partially deaf. Truth is a perception, you rely on what your senses tell you and nothing more.
There is as much truth to the person in front of you as a character in a book. You take facts about a person, the color of their hair, the clothes they wear and voice they speak with and you merge those facts into an individual in your head that you perceive to exist.
You do the same with characters in a book. You take facts that are given to you, like hair color and clothing, how their voice sounds and you merge those facts into an individual in your head that you perceive is fiction.
Life is about perception and faith. Hallucinations are the evidence of that.
