And since there are more than 2 religions out there, would that not mean we all will go to hell?
I find this very confusing(and contradicting) and put it up for discussion.

A major contradiction. And I bet the two you are referring to are Christianity and Islam (or Judaism). That is a the paradigm most people have. And as much as people say "All religions are good, it's all about worshiping God" one minute, they turn around and dread going to Hell for not practicing their religion.
Somehow this means everybody should practice every religion. But of course as nature goes, that won't happen because there will always be individuals, like me, who believe their way is the only correct way. I'm not religious, but I am stubborn and extremely confident in my own personal beliefs that I developed over the years.
But look at how much pain religion has also been the root of. The Crusades is just one of many examples. I mean, blood shed just to prove which religion is correct?

Nature, religion and mankind are all contradictory in many ways.
