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.
That is not true, people claim to have different experiences with their beliefs, religion, and gods. It doesn't have to be at the collective level either, but individually. The difference of Christianity from other religions is a terrible justification, all sovereign religions are different, otherwise they wouldn't be sovereign religions.
You simply assume that your religion is true and tell people that they should allow your God to work for them, but this is no justification.
I can just say that your God doesn't exist and leave it at that.
Hail Satan!
