Perhaps one should practice all religions in hopes that an an eternal life is not nullified by the practice of another "wrong" religion.

I could also create a religion on the very basis of not contradicting any other religion, and would therefore, by your argument, the be only logical choice?

"one should practice all religions" Apostasy is usually considered worse than out-and-out atheism.

"create a religion" You could, but on those terms I bet it wouldn't get enough interest to become a "religion". Anyway, it's been done before: some 4000 years ago, the Abrahamic god said "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself". Since then, Jews, Christians and Muslims have been happily murdering one another on a regular basis.
