Different religions arise from varying faiths in the modes
As long as one’s faith is not completely in purified goodness, the faith is subject to contamination by any of the modes of nature… Thus we find different types of faith in this world, and there are different types of religions due to different types of faith”

prabhu,
The faiths are definitely various , maybe, due to the permutations and combinations of the 3 modes or gunas.
However, the choice is ours, isnt it.
Although, right now, there are so many religions in the world, God wants us to abandon all varieties of religion and simply surrender to him.
& Surrender means… Islam. 🙂
Yes, etymologically Islam means surrender. However, no religion has a monopoly on being the only pathway for surrender to God.
