The specific religion people choose often has a bias, but the same is true of the morality we come to believe in. Just because there is diverse moralities, doesn't mean there isn't an objective morality. And just because there are diverse religions, doesn't mean there isn't a divine religion.
Notice my title didn't state Islam makes sense, but that religion makes sense. The specific form of which religion needs an additional argument.
I didn't say you did mention Islam. I mentioned it as an example, along with Christianity and Hinduism.
It seems, that if there was a single divine religion, with a single divine being, it would be powerful and intelligent enough to get its message through clearly instead of giving rise to multiple, hostile belief systems.
Of course, there are the claims of non-interference on behalf of the deity and free will, but I would have thought that a being that was constantly interfering in the affairs of humanity up to a couple of thousand years ago might still try to calm his followers and stop them making the planet hell for everyone else.
