I would say Islam. There are many miracles and undeniable proofs in the quran. For example, the Quran stated 1400 years ago that saltwater and freshwater do not mix. This has been proved and is impossible to have been known that long ago.
There is also the miracle of decribing the shape of the developing foetus as "a chewed substance". Again this could not have been known that long ago. There are many instances where the Quran describes aspects of nature and even astronomy that could not have been known when the Quran was first revealed.
I am a man of science and this has been proof for me that Islam is the only true religion.
If you are in the mood and would like to read the Quran for yourself and find the descriptions of nature and the heavens, then you can easily download the english version of it from the internet.
Once you give the Quran a quick once over, you'll realise how many ignorant people there are in the world who think that Islam is a religion of terror. There is not a single verse in the Quran that allows for the killing of innocents women and children. And suicide is definetely not allowed either.
There are alot of people prepared to make insulting statements against other peoples religons, and it is hurtful.
I would never disrespect anyone elses religion, so dont claim the moral high ground and then go and disrespect my religion.

If you go out with the intention to convert, you will be a hypocrite.
The intention should be to find the Truth and your Creator.
Startfrom where you are at. If you are a humanist, whatever that is, then try to convince yourself that you believe or do not believe, and see where you go from there.
If a man converts you then you are still on the missing list, but if you are guided by inspiration from your Lord, The Only True God, and it touches your heart, you will surely know, and that is if you are sincere to begin with, but I have my doubts seeing that you think you have the option to get to your Lord when and how you wish, when you didn't have a choice in your creation.
Think about it!

I had to laugh reading some of the anwsers to your question; the amount of people that say their religion is the right one is just plain arrogance.
As a few have suggested it is a decision that it entirely up to you to make. Flirting with these religions may allow you to make a better informed choice of which group to align with, although suggestions to widen your prospective will be a wise move. Any religion which you feel as though you are part of regardless of your walk of life and without the pressure of parting with hard earned cash on a regular basis are usually the better ones. To be 'in contact' with the higher power if you believe in one comes from within not crossing the plam with a sliver token!

It is very difficult to grasp the spiritual realm with words. The best attempts are poetic descriptions---- the so-called religions. Some poems are easier to resonate your spirit. Few people can overcome the litteral boundaries and are fore-ever imprisonned by the written or spoken word. A religion with strict rules may suit them best. But you should not be tied to the literal meaning. The message is between the lines as a theme; as a song. Perhaps one line of the lyrics is " there is beauty within your reach..... reach out and you may touch it"

First you need to know what you believe in, search your own soul.
Then decide what you are willing to compromise on in order to fit into any specific religion, what is the core of your beliefs, and what is peripheral.
Then go read up on the different religions around you. I suppose you would want to join a religion to feel some sense of community, so those around you would be best, since 'help in understanding' would also be at hand.
Then see which fit your core. Chances are, given your name, most would. Then see what are the pieces of periphery you have to give up.
See which one causes less damage to your values.
The interesting thing is that your values could change during your search, so keep your list of core and periphery live.
The situation will solve itself naturally.

One thing you have to understand that we are composed of two things soul and body! Body is the part of earth raw material, as it is created from soil..where our soul comes from skies. We feed our body from earth by eating vegetables, meat and what ever around is in use able form..consider your soul needs some nutrition's where it should come from? Of course skies..when we observe the religion we have to make sure that it is in pure form and came from skies. Judaism, Christianity and Islam came from skies but unfortunately Judaism and Christianity changes their believe and Bible and Torah have thousands of version now a days then the problem is to select which one is original? Only Quran (or Koran ) is in Original form, you can buy it here or any part of world the Quran is same, read it with English translation or translation in your language and then you will see the beauty of Islam. Islam is not allowing any thing but peace so my suggestion is to read and understand. May God bless you

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all closely related religions that share many of the same prophets, religious stories, and ideas about how to live one's life.
I suggest that you widen your perspective and take a look at other less related religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroasteroism, B'haism, and others.

I say stay a humanist...
... but most of all, I say do whatever you feel to be right.
Don't forget about Hinduism and the various Pagan religions. Also, there's Buddhism. They're all wonderful religions.
I hope you find the Truth that is personally best for you.
