There is no such thing. Follow whatever is true to you.

No such thing as a true religion.
There's no way currently to discern which on is true, assuming one was.
Even is there was a way, you have millions of religions and billions of god beliefs to sort through.

the one that worships the true god in the true way.
if you're unsure wich one is you can ask him but i warn you he has the tendency of not replying.
Define 'true'. What does 'true' entail?
That which teaches straight, honest thinking and moral discernment.
I once knew the answer to that question. I was 34 and I had everything else figured out too.
That's like asking "what is the true yummiest food."

Amor Vincit Omnia
The primordial Self which underlies the universe; that which creates, that which orders, that which ends all things. The rest is a matter of translation.

What ever religion becomes your reality, lifestyle, practice, world view, and belief. Whatever religion is YOU.
If religion is nothing more than an aesthetic preference, then all the religions that put themselves forward as more than aesthetic preferences are wrong.
Advaita is the ultimate truth, although other religions have varying degrees of the truth in them.
I don't see how that follows, but okay. Kind of a moot point though, since religion is never "nothing more than an aesthetic preference." It's culture, legacy, community, story, ritual... lots of things.
If you're saying that all religions are equally valid - or that any given religion might be valud for a particular person - then you're contradicting the idea that some religions are more valid than others, or the idea that some religions are just invalid, period, or the idea that there is only one religion that can properly be chosen. All of these ideas can be found in various religions.
By taking an inclusive approach to religion, you stand opposed to all the religions that demand an exclusive approach to religion.
You made an analogy with a purely aesthetic preference.
