Sub-Blue, I really don't know how to vote for this in your poll. A persons belief is just that, their belief, does that make them right or wrong. If one accepts that all belief systems are valid and the individual has the right to believe as they choose to then how can I say "your belief is wrong", at the most I would say "your belief is different than mine". To say they are confused, is the same as saying my belief knows the truth and yours is misguided. All religious belief systems lay in the subjective mind, therefore, making them correct to the believer. If one looks at a belief system through the objective mind, then all religious belief systems fail, for logic is thrown out the window.
There's over 3 million people that where killed in the bible, I can see that being someone I'd would not follow.
Same for Islam faith, to many murdered for senseless reasons.
Christianity; to much legalism and toeing the line, pretty sure there all wrong with so many rules and killing of members.
Taken a journey of many beliefs but why so many deviations and dose that really just make them all wrong?
If you look at the beliefs from the context of soul development... in other words... how does it benefit our souls... then you will conclude that the majority of religions deal with the purification of our natural love by seeking forgiveness for sins, making an effort to love one another, and doing the best they can to live good lives... and then there are those who seek to purify their souls with the very Essence of God.
Some people subscribe to the old time religion where they will not deviate from dogma and doctrines that have been handed down throughtout the centuries and then there are those who have moved on and want to experience a more spiritual existence by having a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Sub-Blue, interesting question you pose here, and how many religions are too many, there are as many different beliefs as there are grains of sand and none of them are wrong to each individual, everyone has an opinion about their belief and everyone believes that their's is the right one to follow, so how do you determine what is right and what is not, you can't, you can only determine what you believe personally and to you that is right and to the next person what they believe is right for them.
It's pretty simple and let me guide you through it:
1. There are many religions and denominations of said religions that all claim to know what the truth is. They all contradict each other and are not compatible.
2. Only one religion or sect has the possibility of being right. This means that billions of people in the past and present have emphatically believed in something that was not correct.
3. Because people deeply believe in things that are quite obviously incorrect this calls into question Man's thought processes and logic. Man's beliefs and declarations cannot be trusted.
4. For the Creator to allow so much confusion and divergence shows that He has failed us (one of many ways that He has). This is yet one more reason not to follow Him.
Wow, elements of enlightenment on a Sunday morning, thank you................
Could God's love be so great that he brings them all into the gate?
Could all faiths be as spokes on a wheel all going to the hub?
Is believing in a God cause the failure syndrome?
Could one entering heaven be a spiritual vibration one throws off? (right couscous thought)
Thank you
I'm pretty sure all roads lead home.
