Can it not be said that the aim of all religion is to benefit life, respect, love, co-existence, dignity and the raising up of all living things to betterment. In this way which could be seen as the "wiser"religion? in your view.
In my opinion it must fall to Taoism. The 3 "Religions of The Book" the monotheist religions of the Western World preach over devotion and enslavement to outer-world elements like God or heaven. The Hindu & Buddhist religions teach good not just in itself but for karmic reasons-we should do good coz its good, not for a better life ahead. The Tao teaches us a "Real World Religion" seeking harmony, balance, co-existence and peace in the here and now. Is this not what is more needed if not in the world then in the weary hearts of each person's world. If there is a GOd would he not prefer this way for his/her people. And if not then is it not embracing "The Greater Good" anyway in our individual Taoistic Ways.
Please let me know your opinion, Thanks,
