Bible Studies/general religious question

Question
Hi,

Recently I have been put in a relationship situation where I had to choose between becoming involved with a religion or walking away from the relationship.  I do not doubt the benefits of religion.  I see how religion in general makes those involved relatively better people.  To me, even though I have never been truly involved with religion, I always saw it as absolute truth, or at least it should be.  Having come from a scientific background, I see religion as the explanation of all there is in the world and beyond.  To me, religion should explain all there is to know about questions like where we came from, why we are here, where we go from here, and what happens after here on earth.  I guess I have high expectations from religion, and I am eager and excited to know what answers can be provided by religion.  But one thing that holds me back is that I don't know why there can be more than one religion out there.  If there is an answer to my questions, how can there be more than one set of answers?  Every religion must have different views, and different explanations, and different instructions for living.  How is one supposed to know which is the right one?  If there is a "creator" out there, it just doesn't seem fair that the creator can allow so many different religions to exist, when only one is the correct one.  

Sorry, my question is not really a Bible question.  It's more of a how do I know which bible to believe in.

Thank you for reading, and thanks in advance if you do respond.

Hi Tony,
For your writing I assume the you are confused in whatever is your believe. first, religion is creation of a man...christianity is creation of Christ.. thats why christianity is not a religion, is a person, JesusChrist.
accordently with the christian bible
the sexuality is part pf the plan of God since the begining of the creation. Genesis 1:27 then in the New Testament the apostol Paul in 1 Corinthios 7:28 talk about the celibacy and he says the is prefereble to be marry then to fall in fornication, and not only that, it is better to serve the Lord when you are alone, when you dont have responsability, but it is not bad either to get married and serve the Lord to. we may conclude therefore that the rule still holds good thjat is not good for a man to be alone. Genesis 2:18.

I should not like to wait until just before I die to know where I am going. Thank God I have know for a long time exactly where I am going, and it is a privilege of all of God"s people to know this thing. in first Epistole of John was writing to those who believe on the name of the Son of God that they may know that they have eternal life (1John 5:13) and of course since we know that we have eternal life we know where we are going. We know that the moment we are "absent from the body", we shall be "at home with the Lord" 2 Cor.5:8, the  Word of God teaches plainly enough, concerning both the saved and the lost, that they are perfectly consious after death, that the saved dead are absent from the body and present with  the Lord, that Heaven is the final abode of the saved, and hell of the lost. Luke 16:19-31...2 Cor.5:6-8, Rev. 20:6, 12-15.
Praying to God for you the He God himself reveled to you and the Holy Ghost tell you the FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THE HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON; THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John chapter 3:16
