Which religion (explicitly) respect other religions? ...and still survives as a religion? Which religions don't believe in superiority of their religions over other? You mean which religion respects other religions? Then biblical Christianity is the answer. The reason I use the word biblical as an adjective there is because there are some religions or denominations that like to call themselves Christians but don't meet the requirements in the bible to be valid. Any way the biblical Christianity will respect other religions but not agree with them. It will still love the people and not cause them harm so will live with them in peace. This is because Jesus, God, in Christianity said that His followers must love eveyone and not kill. So these specific people won't hurt a Mormon church near their house or a Muslim place and live humbly and out of view for the most part so will survive as a minority. Not sure how to answer the superiority question though. Can you eloborate more on what you mean by their superiority?

Not sure how to answer the superiority question though. Can you eloborate more on what you mean by their superiority? By superiority of a religion I mean the followers of that religion believe their religion is superior to all other religions. It's religious grandiosity No religion on the earth is free from such grandiosity! ..and logically it's impossible for all of them to be superior over one another at the same time!

Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19) They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13) Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. “The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him.” (Deuteronomy 13:13-19) Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people. And all the people of the land went over to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They demolished the altars and smashed the idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. Jehoiada the priest stationed guards at the Temple of the LORD. Then the commanders, the Carite mercenaries, the guards, and all the people of the land escorted the king from the Temple of the LORD. They went through the gate of the guards and into the palace, and the king took his seat on the royal throne. (2 Kings 11:17-19) Far be it from us to desert the law and the ordinances. We will not obey the king’s words by turning aside from our religion to the right hand or to the left.” When he had finished speaking these words, a Jew came forward in the sight of all to offer sacrifice on the altar in Modein, according to the king’s command. When Mattathias saw it, he burned with zeal and his heart was stirred. He gave vent to righteous anger; he ran and killed him on the altar. (1 Maccabees 2:21-24)

Anyone not worshipping the true God will be sent to hell but God will take care of that. A Christian is only called to love in new covenant even the enemies. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John:13:34 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew:5:44

The Old Testament respects some other religions (see Jeremiah 35) but not all other religions. This makes sense to me because most religions are worthless trash, modern Christianity being a prime example. But traditional religions tend to be good.
The Old Testament quotes above refer to a covenant which means a contract. One should honor one's contracts, but this does not apply to the followers of other religions who did not enter into the contract.

Current religions do not fulfill the criteria for the best one. Perhaps we should start with a new one A good tutorial is here, in three parts and 16 steps. Though some some steps would be repeating the same mistakes, but you can modify steps.

I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17) I never said the law (10 commandments) were removed. I only said the old covenant was removed and covenant means contract as mentioned by another member above. The book of Hebrews in new testament talks all about the transition from old covenant to new covenant. The 10 commandments is the only thing that carried over in the transition. But old testament is Judaism. The OP asked about which religion can get along with others and it's biblical Christianity. Christianity began in new testament from Jesus. Biblical Christianity is not old testament in any shape or form. Judaism or old testament is a history of how the Christian religion came into being during Christ's time on Earth. So new testament covenant with Jesus will give respect and love to all peoples which answers the OP's question. I wouldn't bring in Old testament to answer his question because it's not the teachings of Christ/Christianity.
