What is the true religion

The true religion is a personal system and philosophy which doesn't make us break our own ideals and which motivates us to be better human beings. Both in terms of productivity and compassion.
If your religion doesn't motivate you to ask: 'Am I a better person than I was a year before?' or 'Am I in a better place?', then you need to ask yourself why do you keep following the dogma that you do.
That is of course just my humble opinion.

No one system embodies the whole truth.
The true religion is the one you follow because it has meaning for you. "There is one truth, the wise know it by many names." - Rig Veda.
I don't think there is an acceptable answer to that question. Either a person will sound arrogant or a person will sound presumptuous. Neither one is very appealing. Belief in God and religion, the way I see it, are two separate things. You can have religion with no God and you can have God with no religion- but that is a whole other discussion.
Suffice it to say that I believe that God alone knows what the true religion is.

This is good! And I might add that being a better human being will undoubtedly cause the people around you to be contented people too, some of the time. When everyone is happy most of the time, you will know your religion is true.

There is no one true religion. Nearly all religions encompass at least some truths, but no single religion has a monopoly on Truth.

This, whichever improves the person, makes them feel like what they're doing is good and meaningful.

I agree with you up until here. The rest I'm not really concerned with, personally. I think if everyone focuses on self-realization, society and the world as a whole will do better naturally.

What about religions with no god?

The true religion is the one that best suits you. Often times you can deny it or feel unsure of it like I do. But if you close the door behind yourself and become intoxicated by it you may love it.
I cannot say I found the true religion but I can say I have found the most perfect. I am trying to work with it and trying to resolve my issues with it. Thankfully it is going extremely well now.
Religion should always remain one's personal understanding of God not one's blind faith in a god.

Atheistic Satanism is an oxymoron like Atheistic Theism :biglaugh:

LaVeyan Satanism is a philosophy (not considered a religion by many of its followers) founded in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey. Its teachings are based on individualism, epicureanism, and "eye for an eye" morality. Unlike theistic Satanists, LaVeyan Satanists are atheists who regard Satan as a symbol of man's inherent nature. According to religioustolerance.org, LaVeyan Satanism is a "small religious group that is unrelated to any other faith, and whose members feel free to satisfy their urges responsibly, exhibit kindness to their friends, and attack their enemies". Its beliefs were first detailed in The Satanic Bible and it is overseen by the Church of Satan.
The Symbolic Satanist views Satan as a fictional, mental/mythic archetype, and admire the character as the "Adversary" or the "Light-bringer".
