They all claim that they have interactions with deities (worship). None of it is evidence of the truth of it.

Really?!?!?
Have you actually studied religion?
Of the top 10 I've actively studied 6, of those Only Christianity claims to put the average person in direct contact with God.
That is not to say other religions 'gods' don't contact people, but when they do there is something special about them which makes them prophets or emissaries, or whatever, or they are used as pawns. Christianity is the only religion that gives you one on one time with it's God. Other religions offer rewards for alliance/obedience. for those followers those 'spiritual rewards' are the reason for their obedience. Christianity offers audience with God, eternally.
If this is appealing or at the very least you want to know if what I said is true then simply A/S/K as outlined in Luke 11 and Allow Him to work with you.

So what, are you saying as we collectively understand God on a greater level, or as some of us fall back we are not allowed to seperate from each other and worship God to the best of our abilities?
The fact that we are all mostly pointed in the same direction speaks to a singular unifying point that keep us all worshiping towards the same point. How we do it was meant from the beginning as different as we are different on an individual level
