That there is only One true religion behind all the religions of the world does not mean that all religions as they have come to exist in the world reflect this universal truth, or that anything that calls itself a religion must be true. That there is ultimately only one truth of science, for example, does not mean that all scientific theories are correct or that all scientists are good, much less that science today has reached the level of that supreme science.

All religions on Earth, at least to some degree, are, if not man made, at least subject to human interpretation which remains flawed by the inherent limitations of the human mind and human language. Religions reflect the perceptions of various human beings in various states and conditions, including the paranormal. All religions are at best reflections, through the human mind and heart, of the universal and eternal religion that is impersonal and stands above all creaturely invention and caprice.

Some human religions contain a greater human element than others and reflect less of the universal truth. Others have less of a human element, perhaps very little, but cannot be entirely free of it either. Religions fixated upon a particular human being or historical revelation as the final truth tend to be personal in nature. Some, looking beyond all personalities, are closer to the universal, yet even these are transmitted by individual human beings and become colored by their lives and personalities.
