Spiritual but not religious, new age and omnist
I disagree. I believe many rivers lead to the sea, but not all rivers lead to the sea. Only loving and kind rivers lead to the sea

What religion is the one true religion?

By finding the ones who are doing what Christ instructed his followers to do. These would be identified by the love they have among themselves, (John 13:34-35) and the fact that they would love their enemies and refuse to do harm to them. (Matthew 5:43-44) They would also be hated for remaining separate from the world. (John 15:18-21; John 18:36; James 4:4)
What was the primary work of Jesus himself? What work did he assign his disciples?
John 18:37....
"So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.”
Matthew 28:19-20...
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
Matthew 10:11-14...
“Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave. 12 When you enter the house, greet the household. 13 If the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you. 14 Wherever anyone does not receive you or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet."
This was the commission, and all true Christians are doing what Christ commanded.

This was only ever true in the West anyway, and reflected a very human, insular perspective. The Silk Road never lead to Rome, though it did link the Eastern Roman Empire to China.

Which painting is art?
Religion as a generic term is the relationship between the individual and the creator. Religions evolve from the innate desire to seek God or Gods. There is no one right religion.
If you are searching for God you have already found God.

Be who ever you want
I can not answer this because I do not know the answer
but in my understanding it has to do with when humans end/let go of every negative words, action and thoughts, if I understand right, that is the moment one live by absolute truth.

Any religion that shapes how you see the world, how you live in, how you interact with others, and how you see yourself.

Different mountains rather than paths
I believe God emanated many varieties simultaneously, or over time. Just as there is much visible diversity in the universe, so too with belief. Can we say there is one tree that is the true tree?

If you mean objectively, there is only one religion thinking religion means a theology.
Every religion may have divine origin, if not most. But then that's a regression we may never be able to know. Thats all speculation. "Some truth", everything may have. That too is too vast to count or measure.

We have discussed this before when you were preaching about your religion, you were unable to explain why Jesus, Mohammed, David Koresh and Charles Manson were not all messengers from your god.
No religion is "true" (in an epistemic sense) -- they are all matters of opinion. To say that you know something to be true, you must be able to demonstrate the truth of it. And if you can demonstrate the truth of it, you no longer need a religion about it -- it just becomes another "fact" of the world with which you work. Like gravity, and the necessity to breathe, and that you can't see in the pitch dark.

None it seems to me, given the spectrum of beliefs, the timescales involved, the locations of their origins, and their reliance on past beliefs, besides all the conflicts such have caused.
And you were doing so well until 4.
Putting my boot in here.
The easiest, the hardest, the classic, or the most enjoyable - and perhaps most rewarding, given the necessities so often. Certainly many religions seem to be such.This might be fine if what they produced didn't then pass into the future to then cause even more conflict. Which is what tends to happen rather than being welcomed and enlightening us all. So why wasn't any original message good enough, even if later explanations were required?
Much like recreational drug use might come from seeking something?
Wow, that was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the OP (then again, I think this in reaction to a great many OPs here, and then usually leave the thread without posting anything).
Knowing @Rival, it'll probably be tea-flavored.

Trees exist first.
Animals live with humans. We all are supported by earth gods spirits owned by earth and space.
