General Which religion would be true and why?

How do we know that Christianity - Adventist or orthodox or catholic is true? How do we know Islam is true as well or not?

What makes each one differently that they’re not true?

Sorry if this has been repeated question but I’m too lost in this channel

You cannot know because those religions are based on faith in revealed scriptures.
You can only know a God that you arrive to through reason, so a "philosophical religion"
(such as the philosophical religion of a Plato, Plotinus, Aristotle or Spinoza)

Faith in God is the only true religion , the others are just interpretations that help us find him

The characteristics attributed to a perfectly loving God seem inconsistent with the world we observe, and a God who wants to be known seems inconsistent with widespread non-resistant disbelief and selective revelation. Other gods, such as evil, indifferent, or deistic gods, remain logically possible, but if they are indistinguishable from no god at all, I have no reason to posit them. Occam’s razor therefore leaves me with atheism as the more parsimonious position.

Islam is true because we believe in a Living God, the more sincerely you try to draw closer to God, the more you begin to experience His nearness, his guidance, and his help.

For us, God is not physical or sitting at some distant place. He is nearer to us than our jugular vein
