Nothing! I have been watching a lot of the bible stuff on history channel and I got to tell ya, I think it was all a ruse to get the people of that time and since to fly straight. I have begun to believe in my own religion. We go round on this earth once so be moral, mannered, enjoy what life you make for yourself, love those around you, laugh as often as possible,and for Pete's sake stop fighting over the stupid stuff.

I am Wiccan. And as the popular Wiccan saying goes: "All acts of love are my rituals". This is the basic morel idea behind Wicca.
Love is what makes the world turn. All the great philosophers taught the importunes of love and tolerance. We have seen, even if it was a glimpse, the positive effect love has on our lives. Acts of love, or derivatives of love, such as compassion are the keys to our survival. Unfortunately, since we've lost sight of love, our world has really gone down hill.
This is my tangible evidence.

My friend saw a girl's leg become healed and made the same length as her good leg.
I personally have been filled with the Holy Ghost and that is an event that cannot be adequately expressed in words. Nor is it a one-time experience.
Many people have been miraculously healed even to the point of X-rays coming out negative that previously showed positive (broken bones, cancer, etc.)

In todays day and age world is changing. What I mean is really one day there will be no religion cuse there were some people way back in time that they said they heard a Voice talk to them (GOD) so they said they could talk to this mystic voice. And so there are no actual facts that to people can talk to God or have talked to God cuse they wrote books too that they drirect people in the way they want them to be. So wake up and see the reality anybody could of written or can write anything. For example the bible of the past is different from the bible of today cuse they changed, For example women can be priests today and men priest can have sex. Where back in ancient times no women was pries and no priest could have sex. So there you have it quit the bullshit and see the reality.

My religion is Hinduism. It has no disagreements with science. In fact one Hindu teacher I have listened to said "Flood religion with science and the outcome will be spirituality." Hinduism teaches that God manifested everything into existence from Itself and thus everything in the universe retains the divine spark. Thus we should strive to remember this and treat everything with the same respect we treat God. The word used most commonly in Hindu sacred texts for God is Brahman. It comes from two Sanskrit words Brah and Manah which basically translates as Expanding Consciousness. Some translations from Sanskrit to English have the English translator translating the word Brahman as Cosmic Consciousness, Ultimate Reality, and Supreme Soul. Much of Hinduism is based upon observations of nature. The idea of reincarnation came about because the ancients noticed that the entire universe seems to operate in cycles and that one cycle was that living things are born and then they die and that then life comes from what has died.
Hindus believe that everything, including the universe was born, will die, and will be reborn again. This is not the first universe and it is not the last universe. Thus, with such a belief, Hindus have declared that in order for something to be considered, something worthy enough to be honored and taught in a religion, will have to be true always. That if it happens in this universe, it must happen in all other universes. That if it can occur now, it did occur in a past universe and will occur again in a future universe. Hindus also take the extreme idea that all things are possible with God. The idea that God can not only be the universe but also still pervade it in an unmanifest state as pure consciousness is the belief of Hindus.
Other than that, Hindus are free to look into other religions, to explore their spirituality. Hinduism never declares that one must believe what it teaches or else suffer some kind of consequence for all eternity. For me I find a lot of truth in Hinduism and much of what the ancients describe in their experiences, I too have had similar experiences which is what drew me to spirituality and religion in the first place. Hinduism offers a myriad of practices for devotees to try and find the one that works best for them towards reaching whatever spiritual goals they might have. Some Hindus only goal is just to reach the temporary state of existence in heaven, others are striving to get to moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth and merge back into the Oneness), and others just want to get through this life and enjoy themselves. And Hinduism embraces all of these goals.
And you will find that most eastern religions are similar in attitudes. People do not practice these religions out of fear, but because they are striving towards a spiritual goal and have experienced some of what the teachings say they would experience in their practices and then each has a myriad of practices set up to help the individual reach whatever spiritual goals they have set. These are not religions that are practiced on mere faith. In fact, I know a guru who actively encourages his devotees to question everything (not because they expect and answer, but, as he says, "asking the question is the first step.")

Hard one to answer, maybe impossible since all religions are based on "faith" and not logic.
I wrote a book on religion called "The Plain Truth About God-101" (or what the church doesn't want you to know!)
Since the nature and purpose of God is too ethereal to be typified by any single religion, God-101 is mostly about what God is NOT.
This includes any explanation given by ANY organized religion or their minions "The Priesthood."

The Jewish people have survived persecution for two millennia. That in itself is a miracle.
