One only needs to respect the fact that there are over 10,000 distinct
religions at present with just under 34,000 different denominations of Christianity.
They cannot all be right


They cannot all be right in all details, of course. But, of course, while the numbers may not be as high, there are also distinct branches of geometry which are inconsistent with each other, of astronomy, physics, sociology, philosopy, and many other branches of knowledge which seek to find what is true.

Which doesn't mean that none of them are true.

The variety of religions can all be right, however, about the fundamental question posed here: does God exist? All religions answer that question yes, though they answer it in many different forms of yes. But virtually all, if not all, religions accept the existence of intentionality and intelligence outside of mankind which takes an interest in the afffairs of mankind and, particularly, in the manner in which men and woman live their lives. In that core principle, yes, than CAN all be right.
