Applying logic to metaphysics makes absolutely no sense. They are two competing philosophies that don't mix together well at all, and attempts to make them mesh are pretty much always doomed to fail. There's a reason why we say someone with a religious belief has "faith", as opposed to them having "drawn conclusions based on tangible and/or logical proofs."
You are appealing to logic to even say that it ‘doesn’t make sense’. If we cannot agree that X == Y we won’t be able to get very far.
Also biblical faith is not ‘believing without evidence’, the word is more akin to ‘trust’, in the same way one trusts a parachute to keep them from hitting the ground at 120mph.
Hard to convey tone here but I wrote this in love and remembering my seeking and journey through atheism, New Age and beyond.
I posit that many religions may have interpreted similar entities in different ways. So in that sense they can all be incorrect and correct simultaneously in a way.
Logically (since they have conflicting metaphysical assertions), either they are all incorrect, or one is correct.

This is what I've always said
Religion is man’s attempt to reach God. Jesus is God’s attempt to reach man.

Not if they make contradictory claims. The central one being: is Jesus Christ the only way of salvation?
