That is one way to see it, but it’s also possible to have a more pluralistic view. Like in India which has a long tradition of many religions co-existing with respect.
Boy, you should really look into how they're handing their Muslim population. Though, yes, much like the Israel situation, the Brits really fucked that region up.
You can respect someone and still think they're wrong. Just like I respect you right now.
But if you truly believe in your religion, then you must believe that other religions aren't right.
That’s only your view of it, and if it suits you then so be it.
I think the Hindu school of thought is described here, that there is one truth (god), but it has many manifestations (religions)

Then there is the Stoic view of Logos, which is the ”natural order” of the world. It’s a philosophical view, but according to it Logos has a divine source and it’s up to the individual to align with it and accept it. So since Logos contains multiple religions, does it matter which ones are right or wrong, rather how to align yourself with them?

So Hindu believe that the alien worshipping death cult that thinks all Hindu should die is as true as their own religion? That doesn't seem right.
By the way, I actually put in some effort in that comment to you which you downvoted. To me that felt a bit disrespectful of you.
Sorry if it seems flippant, but I've been down this discussion before. Done the research before. And I've come to conclusions already taking into account what you sent. A quick Google of "what religions believe other religions are right" would get similar results.
The end result is: all religions make up their rules. It's just people finding ways to live with other people. There's nothing in them that isn't explained easily by reality, or disproved easily by saying "no it isn't".
You have to ask some Hindu about it. Maybe if you’re less argumentative and more eager to learn they’ll tell.
I used to be. I learned a lot about a lot of religions. I was seriously Catholic for 18 years. They all have a dogma that their believers don't follow well. They're often internally inconsistent in their rules. They don't get us new knowledge or truth or understanding of the universe.
If you objectively look at religion and how it's used, it seems to be a convenient way to keep sociopaths under control (threat of a punishing father figure), a way to cope with mortality, and a way to funnel money and accomplish social goals. They had interesting uses in the past as forms of local government and keeping people from killing each other. They're often used by horrible people to enhance their power and abuse others.
But today what's the point? Get a hobby, join a club, follow the laws, and accept that death is the end.
Not necessarily. If I wear rose-tinted glasses while yours are tinted green, I may still believe that the worlds we see are lit by the same light.
If you believe that, then you believe you do not actually know the truth. But only an interpretation of what might be true.
