What are some of the more interesting religions of the world??

Answer 1

Satanism, If you are open-minded enough to study it.

Anton LaVey (High Priest and founder of the Church of Satan) was and excellent philosopher, he had a lot of things to say that make a lot of sense to the common person.

It has nothing to do with 'Devil Worship' or 'human or animal sacrifice' as many Christians or catholics would have you believe.

The Satanic Bible is an excellent read and is available everywhere on the net, or at a local bookstore.

Answer 2

Wishing that some brief quotations below will cause you to notice the new teachings in the Kitab-i-Iqan of Baha'u'llah concerning true religion :

"Consider the past. How many, both high and low, have, at all times, yearningly awaited the advent of the Manifestations of God in the sanctified persons of His chosen Ones. How often have they expected His coming, how frequently have they prayed that the breeze of divine mercy might blow, and the promised Beauty step forth from behind the veil of concealment, and be made manifest to all the world. And whensoever the portals of grace did open, and the clouds of divine bounty did rain upon mankind, and the light of the Unseen did shine above the horizon of celestial might, they all denied Him, and turned away from His face -- the face of God Himself. Refer ye, to verify this truth, to that which hath been recorded in every sacred Book."
(Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 4)

"A lamp shone in this room last night, and when tonight another lamp shines, we say the light of last night is again shining. Water flows from a fountain; then it ceases; and when it begins to flow a second time, we say this water is the same water flowing again; or we say this light is identical with the former light. It is the same with the spring of last year, when blossoms, flowers and sweet-scented herbs bloomed, and delicious fruits were brought forth; next year we say that those delicious fruits have come back, and those blossoms, flowers and blooms have returned and come again. This does not mean that exactly the same particles composing the flowers of last year have, after decomposition, been again combined and have then come back and returned. On the contrary, the meaning is that the delicacy, freshness, delicious perfume and wonderful  289  color of the flowers of last year are visible and apparent in exactly the same manner in the flowers of this year. Briefly, this expression refers only to the resemblance and likeness which exist between the former and latter flowers. The "return" which is mentioned in the Divine Scriptures is this: it is fully explained by the Supreme Pen [1] in the Kitáb-i-Íqán. Refer to it, so that you may be informed of the truth of the divine mysteries."
[1 Bahá'u'lláh.]
(Abdu'l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 288)

Answer 3

I recommend Gnosticism and take a look into Taoism (not so much a religion but anyway) And as many here suggest:Buddhism,which is also a belief with no deity.
Buddha is a word meaning enlightened one.

These sites carry all you want to know.

Answer 4

Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Shakers

Answer 5

The Wiccan belief to me is interesting because the people are nice without trying to hard sell their belief. I've known christians to put religious information in public library books. Sometimes I think they must think God is going to squash them if they don't get enough converts. Like Budism, it isn't controled by politics or church leaders. Like native american's they have great respect and reverence for mother earth. Unlike christian claims they do not believe in or worship the devil. Only christians, or those who believe in the bible but don't practice christianity believe in devils.

Japanese Anime.
Although not an official religion, there is a thread of philosophy that runs throughout the stories.

Answer 8

I will not advertise any religion for you, because they are all devisive. I say, pick up physics and geology book and learn the reasons as to why we're really here and where we're headed.

Answer 9

No Compulsion in Religion

[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient
[2:257] GOD is Lord of those who believe; He leads them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are their idols; they lead them out of the light into darkness - these will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.

Can They Create a Fly?

73. O people, here is a parable that you must ponder carefully: the idols you set up beside GOD can never create a fly, even if they banded together to do so. Furthermore, if the fly steals anything from them, they cannot recover it; weak is the pursuer and the pursued.

74. They do not value GOD as He should be valued. GOD is the Most Powerful, the Almighty.

75. GOD chooses from among the angels messengers, as well as from among the people. GOD is Hearer, Seer.

76. He knows their past and their future. To GOD belongs the ultimate control of all matters.

77. O you who believe, you shall bow, prostrate, worship your Lord, and work righteousness, that you may succeed.

Answer 10

surely 'interesting' and 'religion' should never be used in the same sentence.
