Sure they can all be correct. Not to the same mind (assuming the mind is relatively sane), but to different minds. Thing is that all these claims exist in the mind, only. No claim can ever be materialized and therefore verified. C'est impossible.
It's really only when the religious person starts to argue the veracity of his or her respective claim that conflicts arise between claims. And that's when there is no other option than to declare conflicting claims to be lies, or, at the very least, false. But until that happens, they are all true
