Me?
I'm no Christian
not Budist
not Islamic
not any religion
So what am I?
Athiest?
No
I make my own religion. I take the truth from all of them and mash them together into my own. I beleive in God, but probably a much different way than you. In my mind, there is a set way everything works.
Now, what if everybody did this? If everybody had their very own religion, then nobody could try and force you to beleive what they beleived. They still could, I suppose, but not to the extent done my relegious freaks (I'm not using this term offenseively, it's just what they are).
No more holy wars, except maybe on very individual levels.
What would that be like? It would solve everything that religion creates, yet without destroying religion. Beleive what you want, not what everybody else wants you to. Think of the good you'll do. Spread the idea around.

You don't make truth, you find it. Making it means you're just lieing to yourself. And if you want to lie, then by all means lie. Just don't make your stupid ass personal belief external.
You can't mix things like this together. A lot of them say things against each other. Like, if you're into Zoroastrianism you would be against worshipping idols, however a lot of other religions DO worship idols. So you would have to have a long ass debate about which is right. To worship idols or to not worship idols. When or better yet, IF, you're done with that argument you still got a LOT more to go. So the fastest way, that I currently know of, is to just question god's existence. If you believe there is a god, you got more arguing to do cause you would have to pick the right belief in god now. If you don't believe there's a god, da bam you're done.
Trust me, people will not just have their own religion. They'll, like proven countless time through out history, will come together and make some type of common belief.
But to be honest, I wouldn't mind making a religion. As the creator of scientology once said:
"Religion is where the money is at."
