An Anthropologist is one good answer, they study all religions as a consistently arrising social phenomenon. It is a social institution on all levels of social order, hard to detect in lower primates but i suspect it is there in a nacent form. So what is going on? Humanity is working to assure the growth of consciousness will have a path forward anon, and that the kids do not have to make the same foolish mistakes the ancestors made; we have taboo, precept, and commandment-WORD!
To honour the efforts of all religions and to thereby transcend the divisive is to aproach religion from the state of intellectual freedom. This being the case, lets call this intrepid soul, free. So, a person who believes in all religions is free; that is my answer.

Another answer is - one who follows the Baha'i faith. (http://www.bahai.org/)

Multifaith is frequently used when people of many faiths come together - usually because of a disaster of some kind.
Religions frequently disallow you from following other religions. There are conflicts that cannot be resolved.
There are religions which superimpose themselves on other religions. Think of how Christianity came out of Judaism. Islaam has incorporated aspects of both faiths.
There are also faiths which try to incorporate all the faiths of the world.
"New Age" is frequently used to describe how people pick and mix multiple faiths to create their own belief system.
There may well be a word, but as these examples show, it depends on what situation you are referring to.

Heretic is a glib response, and from the perspective of any number of individual religions it would be accurate. But in reality no one would be able to 'follow' all religions. There are many religions that actively forbid following other religions simultaneously. Maybe the questioner intended "What do you call a person who is open to all religion?" I would call such a person a pilgrim; one who is searching; one who is attempting to make or see the sense in many world religion systems that seem to have some truth but also seem to be misguided in some ways. There is no need to insult someone who is searching. Such people should be lifted up and encouraged on their journey.
People who convert from one religion to another are often referred to as converts or converts.
