Watching how Muslims react to simplistic comments by the Pope, and how Christians react to simplistic comments by G W Bush, clearly we live in a simplistic world.
Myself, I think religion is the greatest evil ever to infect humanity, but I’d appreciate your opinions please.

Religion is a divisive force... it is the problem not the answer.

Neither
You live in an overly simplistic world. Politics is a necessary evil and that is what controls us since the days when Luther helped break the hold of the Church.
Once upon a time there was World Catholicism and another religion broke it.
But at the same time there was World Feudalism and Politics broke it.
No matter where you are or where you go there is a "religion" over you and it's called Government.
And you have to obey the rules.
You have to live the way governments wants you to live.
And you have to kiss the ring of the Judge least he find you guilty of Reckless Driving for going 75 in a 55 zone and suspend your license for 6 months and put you in jail for 30 days and fine you $2,000 or just reduce it to an Infraction have you do "community service" and pay a nomal fine of $100.
Get the point.
You have to KISS the POPE'S RING not matter what, unless you are totally arrogant and want the maximum sentance that GOD imposes on you!
So, no matter what you have to get down, bow 12 times to the East and praise Allah if you want to get a reduced sentence.
LEARN THIS LESSON FAST
ISLAM does NOT TOLERATE Atheism.
It is TOTALLY AGAINST ISLAM.
You WILL bow to Allah or YOU will die.
It is that simple.
The Pope won't kill you for not bowing or knelling or praying.
That is the difference between the two.
Atheists are GOING TO HAVE TO PICK A SIDE ON THIS ONE.
You will have a gun. It is up to you, which one to shoot at. The Pope's people or Osama's people.
If you don't shoot, you will die or be forced to PRAISE ALLAH if the Pope's people don't win.
But my answer is
NEITHER is right.

This Pope story is knit picking. What does The Pope know, he's living in the 12th century? The Muslims should have a laugh about it. Don't underestimate people. Everyone is entitled to respect and an opinion. Who do you think you are compared to them? What achievements give you the audacity to criticize world leaders? You obviously hardly know much about them, so who is the simpleton?

without religion, life will be meaningless, no sense of morality, no sense of achievement, no fear of punishment, no reward for doing good, and no penalty for propagating evil, what a world will be then? i will tell u what ..... TOTAL CHAOS. we all have to Believe in sthg to refrain from chaos.
and as for ur question, thought there is NO doubt abt it, but still if u ask, by ALLAH's (GOD) Will Prophet Mohammad (May Peace and Blessings of ALLAH Be Upon Him) is THE MOST CORRECT Person and The Greatest Person to have ever lived, is living and will live (that is Not what only Muslim say, but western author like Michael h. hart in his book "100 most influential ppl" agrees to. Go figure !! ). Peace to All.

Question : Who is most correct – Mohammed or the Pope?
Answer : Neither. Answer is The Word of God.
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

I don't believe either is more right or even right.
It is not religion which is the problem it is some of the people behind it. In the Bible in James 1:27 It says, Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Unfortunately for the Muslims, the Pope quoted the truth...thats the one thing that Muslims cannot deal with...they have been fooling themselves for years about all sorts of things, but the Truth is one thing that they cannot defeat....ask Salman Rushdie (who wrote the truth)....they wanted to wipe him out!!!!

I think your opinion is incorrect...I think people like you are also dangerous...remember Stalin and Mao.
I will not answer the rest of your question as it is not properly stated. I disagree with the wording.

Who is most correct you or me? does religion make man move or man make religion move, they are all the means of washing sins we create in our lives, but if we create sins in the name of religion then who is there to wash it.
Its a saying like this
If i make sin elsewhere i come to church to wash it, but if i make a sin in church then the whole life becomes sin place for me. I cannot wash my sin anywhere
