The religions with longstanding traditions and founders who (I assume) truly believed in what they were preaching do seem more "legitimate" to me, even though I don't think any of them have a true story.

There is a distinct possibility that those older religions were put out for the same reasons, just much longer ago isn't there? I mean, these religions are cash cows and have huge followings...I wouldn't be surprised if a mainstream religion was actually started the same way.
