You know how when you debate a theist instead of arguing their theism they will argue the existence of god, as if proving god means that their religion is true by default?
I think this applies for Abrahamic religions only.
All 3 Abrahamic religions appear to speak about a Supreme Being.
In so far the religions that support and worship a Supreme Being are
Zoroastrianism - Ahura Mazda
Abrahamic religions
Judaism - Yahweh
Christianity - Holy Trinity
Islam - Allah
Bahai - Allah
Dharmic religions
Hinduism [Brahma/Vishnu/Shiva/Saraswati/Lakshmi/Durga/Ganesha/Skanda]
Sikhism [Waheguru]So if we identify a God who is not of a particular sort.
Some of these religions are more accurate in their definition/understanding of God. So of these religions one of them will be the "truest" of them all.
So if we manage to "establish" the "existence of God" somehow. Whichever religion comes closer to the establishment would be more rightful as claiming "God" as theirs.
Now what are the ways in which we can attempt to gauge which religion is specifically that of "God".
The answer is 1) only God knows for sure 2) there must be a way of finding this out
And from this I'm thinking of several.
- which of these religions was the first to speak about a Supreme Being?
- which of these religions is the oldest?
- which of these religions have evolved the most, in a way which reflective of human spiritual evolution and human capacity to understand God better?
- which of these religions have the most to say about the "supernatural
and "God" in terms of depth?
- which of these religions have the most to say about differing views about "God" - in terms of the nature of God in all ways so far?
- which of these religions have the most all-encompassing philosophies?
- which of these religions have the most sophisticated philosophies?
- which of these religions have the most complicated/intellectually rich scriptures?
- which of these religions concern themselves more than just God and seek to include all other aspects of human existence?
- which of these religions seem to have "God" involving Himself the most? an interaction of some sort? something we can find that would make us most sure should God choose to make Himself known to mankind and is concerned with mankind and the spirituality of mankind?
- which of these religions have concepts of revelations, and an extensive tradition surrounding them, and the most ancient of revelations?
- which of these religions seem to include all of humanity on a wider scope?

- which of these religions are what the word "spirituality" truly stand for?
- which of these religions appear to be the most well rooted to the core of humanity?
- which of these religions are strongly centred in the region they originate from, not just simply but in a way that its history is written into its theology, and on a deep level that speaks beyond soil and people?
