Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I've been stuck on this for a while now. I don't follow a religion, but I believe all religions are true. Is there a word for this? I've seen the term deism and theism, but the definitions I've seen don't explain it

People of the Baha'i faith believe all religions are true. I can not think of any other word though.

I do not understand how one could believe this as many religions as a foundational creed think they are true and the others misguided.

*** Un- domination means that all religion has a measure of
truth.

I’m confuse there are some religion contradict each other
so how can they be true?

Instead of finding out about the 1000’s religion it would
be easier to find out which one is the true religion by studying the bible and
see which one is closely following what the bible outline. 

For example:

** How can a person know which religion is right?

(1) On what are its teachings based? Are they from
God, or are they largely from men? (2 Tim. 3:16; Mark 7:7) Ask, for
example: Where does the Bible teach that God is a Trinity? Where does it say
that the human soul is immortal?

(2) Consider whether it is making known the name of
God. Jesus said in prayer to God: “I have made your name manifest to the men
you gave me out of the world.” (John 17:6) He declared: “It is Jehovah your God
you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Matt.
4:10) Has other religion taught that ‘it is Jehovah you must worship’? Have you
come to know the Person identified by that name—his purposes, his activities,
his qualities—so that you feel you can confidently draw close to him?

(3) Is true faith in Jesus Christ being
demonstrated? This involves appreciation of the value of the sacrifice of
Jesus’ human life and of his position today as heavenly King. (John 3:36; Ps.
2:6-8) Such appreciation is shown by obeying Jesus—sharing personally and
zealously in the work that he assigned to his followers. True religion has such
faith that is accompanied by works.—Jas. 2:26.

(4) Is it largely ritualistic, a formality, or is it
a way of life? God strongly disapproves of religion that is merely a formalism.
(Isa. 1:15-17) True religion upholds the Bible’s standard of morality and clean
speech instead of weakly going along with popular trends. (1 Cor. 5:9-13;
Eph. 5:3-5) Its members reflect the fruits of God’s spirit in their lives.
(Gal. 5:22, 23) So, those who adhere to true worship can be identified
because they sincerely endeavor to apply Bible standards in their lives not
only at their places of meeting but in their family life, at their secular
work, in school, and in recreation.

(5) Do its members truly love one another? Jesus
said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among
yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national
boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this
love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to
war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they
refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.

(6) Is it truly separate from the world? Jesus said
that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To
worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves
“without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose
clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely
built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1 John 2:15-17.

(7) Are its members active witnesses concerning
God’s Kingdom? Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in
all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will
come.” (Matt. 24:14) What religion is really proclaiming God’s Kingdom as the
hope of mankind instead of encouraging people to look to human rulership to
solve their problems? Has other religion equipped to share in this activity,
and to do it from house to house as Jesus taught his apostles to do?—Matt.
10:7, 11-13; Acts 5:42; 20:20.
