Only the ones that claim to be the truth the light and the way. Oh and I forgot about the ones that preach the path to heaven. And the ones that offer salvation through prayer and money. Then there are the ones that have singing. Those guys are the biggest fakers. Also the ones that have holy books. I mean come on, a holy book?!? That's totally a sign of fakery and frauditude. A real religion would never have a holy book.
But the biggest most fakiest and fraudiest of all are the ones that worship a deity. Never trust a deist, they're after your soul, I swear.

Fake religions?? No. I think that most followers believe that their religion is true. For a religion to be fake, its members have to know that it is so, and pretend to believe, so there are no fake religions. False religion? Yes, I don't think any one has discovered the truth yet. All religions are false.

Ok. First let me get this out of the way. I am an Evangelical Christian.
I think there are three kinds of religion: fake ones, ones that have truth in them, and the Truth.
Fake Religions are easy to spot. Like Cults— deceptions started by sociopaths. Also made up whatever-floats-your-boat religions that are corruptions or reactions to other more substantial faiths. You can tell these because they have no great leaders, no real morality, no code, just a bunch of people spouting nonsense.
Then there are the Great Religions of History, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, etc. I have read and studied about these religions, and it is impossible not to think that these men who inspired so many followers were not in some way inspired themselves. Most of these religions (perhaps all of them) begin with Great Men who bring insight into people's lives and challenge them to live better and embrace Truth. What you see with these religions is an inital Founder, a very charismatic and dedicated person. He is followed by lesser men who cause divisions in the community of the founder, who are in turn followed by codifiers and theorists who put everything into neat tidy boxes, so that corrupters can come along and twist and distort everything.
But the Prophetic Tradition of the Judeo-Christian Heritage is quite unique in the History of Religions. Here we see, not men's ideas about God, but God's ideas about Men, revealed in a gradually unfolding vision of God and His Will for Humanity. Here there is not one great founder, but a whole series of men and women touched in different ages by the Spirit of God. Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Jesus, Peter, John, Paul, the Baal-Shem-Tov, John Wesley, Abraham Joshua Heshel, Martin Luther King. Any one of these men could have started their own religion and put themselves at the head of a new community. But instead they submitted to God and were used by Him in the Eternal Cause, the Redemption of Humanity.

There is no such thing as fake religion since it is the religion itself that makes it a religion. However, there are false teachings in a religion...and in some cases, lies.

Well, Pastafarianism is kind of a fake religion. I'm pretty sure all religions are real, but they're false.
