As long as man has been on the Earth he has followed, created and changed religions. But what is 'religion'?
From the point of view of an atheist, religion is and has always been a grand lie that was told to those who could no accept the truth that man's carnal nature. Religion is a lie that is used to control societies and shape human behavior as the oldest most effective mass marketing scheme. Atrocities, war and massacres can all be rightfully attributed to religious strife. Wouldn't be we all be better off without it?
The other possibility is that there are Eternal Divine Truths, an Eternal Right and Wrong. That would make True Religion, a religion with Divine Truth, the Purpose and calling of Mankind. But all men can be deceived. There is always someone else smarter, cleverer or quicker than you. So how do you recognize a Divine Truth when you encounter it? If there is a God, logically the only way is to ask him. God answers prayers in our hearts and in our minds. When you learn of a Divine Truth, your heart will burn within you and you mind will be clear. You will know within you soul of its truth. In fact you will have a testimony of its truth.
