2 Christianity
3 Judism

1. Atheism
2. Hinduism
3. Sikhism

Answer 2

God Religions are Judism, Christinaity and Islam.
There is nothing wrong with any God based religion as it is coming from the creator to Mankind well fair.

Yet, Religion followers are the ones that can be debated if they really preserved the religion and acted as it is originally advised.

Islam and its book "Quran" is not only a religion but a civilization and thus any informed person can not deny that fact as the science, culture and technology evolved rapidly during Islam Empire peak time.

Till today, western science owe it to Islamic scientists for the basis of Algebra, Medicine and Chemistry as well as Geography. Till todate the Islamic (Arabic) Numerals are used widely.

Unfortunatily, there is no other religion participated in world's civilization like Islam

Answer 3

No religion has benefited humanity. No religion is the correct one, no religion is the best one, and all religions have got it wrong.

There are many major religions in the world, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, and so on. Within each major religion there can also be many minor religions. For example, within Christianity there is Catholic, Protestant, Anglican and so on. Within Islam there is Shiite, Sunni etc.

In summary there are many hundreds of different religions in the world all with their devoted believers and followers. Talk to any devout religious person and they will almost emphatically insist that their religion is the right one, it’s fact, and any non-believer is doomed.

Commonsense and logic would suggest that if there was any truthful or factual basis to religion, then only one of these religions could be correct, not all of them. However, in my view, it’s highly unlikely that any of these man-made religions bear any resemblance to fact or the truth, and are more likely to be the result of simplistic human intelligence looking for an escape from reality.

The greatest benefit to humanity would be to abolish all religions, they are nothing more than evil.

Answer 4

Depends on the criteria you use.

Most religions claim to be good for the believer, and many also claim to be good for the rest of the world. But when your idea of what's good for a person is different from what their idea of what's good for themself... Well, let's just say I can't agree.

I don't know enough to answer this question; I could guess that Buddhism would be one of the top three b/c it's one of the few major religions that have never once said "war is good" for any reason.

And to be honest, three of the candidates I would put up for worst would be Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. All their holy books call repeatedly for violence against unbelievers, and all three have been central in some of the worst, most repressive and miserable, most inhuman regimes in the history of the world.

I haven't decided for certain, but I have to consider that the evil perpetrated in the names of these religions might outweigh the small acts of kindness performed by individuals in their names.

Very tough question, I hope you get some intelligent responses.

Blessed be!

Answer 5

Tibet and Mongolia (Genghis Khan) were one of the most violent cultures in the world before Buddhism. Now they are one of the most peaceful.

I think the same can be said for the Middle East before Islam.

Ranking them would take a lot of historical work, but the main thing to know is that religion, in general, seems to have had a positive effect on curbing human violence and cruelty.

Still don't think so? Look at the 100 million people killed last century at the hands of the anti-religious.

Answer 6

magnificent question. thank you for asking :) My ideal 3 favorites: a million. Madoka Kaname (Madoka Magica) - because of the fact she became such an inspirational character, and sacrificed herself for the happiness of all human beings else 2/3. Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist / Brotherhood) 2/3. Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist / Brotherhood) - won't be able to choose between those 2, they're the two in basic terms so wonderful, i like their personalities, capability and their loyalty to a minimum of one yet another My ideal 3 maximum hated: a million. Obito Uchiha (Naruto) - a egocentric coward who brought about the deaths of such numerous super characters 2. Yukito Tsukishiro (Cardcaptor Sakura) - he's creepy 3. Chi-Chi (Dragon Ball Z) - whines way too lots, makes her son do his homework while he might desire to be accessible saving the international and became him right into a entire softie

Answer 7

im Jewish so this may be biased, but Judaism is the longest lasting religion still going on and Christianity is based and/or grew off Judaism (Jesus was a Jewish rabbi.) i also think Jews give a decent amount of charity (we're required to give at least 10% of our yearly income) also the holocaust (although its extremely sad) i think cause some ppl to realize not to hate as much and its wrong to discriminate by religion (i feel obliged to also mention that 5 million disabled people, homosexuals, and ppl who took in Jews also were brutally murdered, may they be remembered).

i feel kinda weird saying Christianity bc im Jewish but i guess alot of charitys and things have started from christians (bad things have happened 2 like the crusades and many other things but no religon is perfect) but id probably still go with that

Answer 8

i don't think any religious organization has ever really tipped the scales to benefit humanity, the cost of that benefit was usually horrific.

that said, if bill gates was a religion, i'd say he was the most beneficial.

Answer 9

1) Christianity, completed Judaism
2) the worship of the one God, presently known as Judaism
3) I would say Bel-Marduk because it preserved the records of several deified kings. ie Ouranos/Noah, Mizraim/Zeus/Osiris, Lehabim/Heracles, and Ra, Nimrod, Nmrd, Mrd, Mrdk, Marduk, Amprahel, Hammurabi, and Gilgamesh were synonymous names for a deified Mesopotamian king. The list goes on.

least
1) earth worship
2) Satanism
3) Islam

Answer 10

Jewdism, Christianity, and we are still waiting for the other one ot appear.
The jews created a single god beleif, and led to the creation of Christianity. They also sponcered the cult Islam which has not benefitted anyone but enslaved millions and still do so.
