Probably paganism or some form of it.

You have a point there. I believe that may be the best answer given to the question so far. Because believing one single religion to be the true path is a belief, and belief does not necessarily means truth nor false, objectively, rather subjectively, hence 'subjective truth'.

The answer is obvious: the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Though, to be honest, if God created humans in His image, that makes "Touched by His Noodly Appendage" all the more disturbing...

You have three religions (jew, christan, muslim) that follow the same god yet cannot get along. They insist that their god is the one true god, you'd think they'd be the best of friends.

No religion is the true one, if there was a 'true' religion, then there would only be one religion in this world instead of many.

All religions/philosophies are the same search for the Ultimate Truth.

That is not how Judaism works. Judaism is mostly about keeping as many of the 613 Commandments and Rabbinic Emendations as are applicable.

I'm seeing few reasons why here

What exactly makes religion X 'true' and Y false? Other than "Because I say so and I know better than the other 6+ billion people on Earth."
