Can All Religions "Coexist"?

In 1 Peter 3:15, Christians are commanded to "always be prepared" to explain our faith, so let's consider this question:

Why can't all religions be true?

The word "COEXIST," using representations from the major world religions, has become a popular slogan.

If it means different religious groups can live together without fighting, it's possible. If it means different religious groups can worship together, it's impossible. 

Why? 

Because the major tenets of every faith are in conflict with every other. 

2+2 cannot equal 4, 5, or 6. 

Truth is truth. It's not negotiable. 

Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and the plethora of Hindu gods have different explanations for mankind's greatest need. And they explain man's salvation in ways that cannot be combined or unified.

To say every religion is right is the same as saying every religion is wrong.

If Christianity were one of many ways to God, Jesus would be a liar because He claimed to be the only way of salvation. 

But Jesus is not a liar.
