They must necessarily be all equally unjustified.

I would like to answer this question but at the moment I am not sure what you mean in the use of the words scriptures and
religions'. Scriptures" is defined as: NOUN:
A sacred writing or book. A passage from such a writing or book. The sacred writings of the Bible. Often used in the plural. Also called Holy Scriptures . scripture A statement regarded as authoritative.
The confusion is when is a statement regarded as authoritative? Who determines this? Who sets the standard.? Is that person you, since you ask the question or should all look to another?
One definition of a religion as a NOUN is A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Is this the definition you are using in your question? If so are there not in existence contradicting beliefs, causes,and principles? Who now sets these standards, you again or must all look to another for this also.
Please my Friend do clear up the point you are making so then maybe we can reason together.

I answered as soon as I found the question, it seems a good question to ask.
All scripture is inspired of God (2 Tim 3:16).
Knowledge builds faith
As a Jehovah's Witness I do not go by blind faith but by careful and continual study of the Bible and it's messages. I prove to myself what is truth not just accept it because I am told. This is not a boast but a privilege that Jehovah has allowed me.
My faith is not just attending meetings but getting involved and preparing study for each meeting and putting that faith in to practice by sharing my knowledge with others in my ministry. Like anything the Bible is no exception if you want to learn about it you have to put the work in it. I accept all scripture and the Bible is very harmonious, every truth and teaching go hand in hand. The Bible is complete and it all points to the sanctification of the name of our God, Jehovah.

Because the Bible is already contradictory enough. Mixing thousands of religions would be like trying to follow a libertarian agenda and a fascist agenda at the same time.

Why not? This non-believer rejects them all equally.

No - Christianity is the only religion that believes Jesus Christ is God (not - a god).
