All 10,000 religions say their religion is the truth.

Are they all the true?

"Which Government is that??"

All Governments, all rulers.

Romans 13:

1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
7 Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

"The authorities that exist have been established by God"

So the Muslim Governments were established by your God even though they serve another god? Their terrible values and primitive lack of human rights are what God desires and commands??

You are so STUPID.

Since contradictory statements cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time, where religions truly contradict one another, then someone is wrong. But NOTE that doesn't NECESSARILY make EVERYONE wrong.
