So you are ok with Op narrowing down all religions to 6 discreet choices
No one narrowed anything down to 6 discreet choices. I demonstrated a case where it is inconceivable that all people are correct, while at the same time demonstrating it is completely unreasonable to claim that no one can be correct.
op declared that one must be correct
At no point did anyone claim one must be correct.
that claims some religion is certainly right
The question “why couldn’t it be” is not even remotely equivalent to the claim that “it certainly is.”

Yes but the validity of that “demonstration” is showing an equivalent scenario, which you did not. If I claim “a bird is a living thing and flies, ergo all living things fly” I would be wrong and even if that line does apply to many living things, it is still a gross generalization.
All I am saying is that you are arguing a flawed argument with another flawed argument.
At no point did anyone claim one must be correct.
Your reduced scenario assumed one must be, otherwise you’d be agreeing with the quote posted by OP

I can… but we cannot know if that is the case so we should ALSO not be acting as if it already is right and certain

I used the equivalent logic. I’m demonstrating the logic is wrong, not the conclusion.
Your reduced scenario assumed one must be
Nit picky. Change it to a million sided die and 999999 people all choose different answers. One doesn’t have to be true, but it’s still ridiculous to claim they all have to be wrong.

I started this whole thing by saying I lack a belief in a god because I see no evidence of one. You gotta shake the black and white thinking. Just because I recognize his logic here is garbage, that doesn’t mean I don’t agree with his conclusions.

By using a scenario that nowhere near resembles the original claim? that’s the part I disagree with

OK, 99999 side, no option is correct. How does this disprove the original claim which concluded that “none are correct”?
You gotta shake the black and white thinking.
I’m not, my initial criticism of your logic is precisely that we cannot reduce it to a simple right or wrong. Almost everything is more nuanced than that, specially religion
