Freedom of religion is important to the spiritual growth of mankind. Lest the combination of spirit and reason be lost, and in such, God becomes useless as if He were devoid of reason, or people believe in God without reason and for this belief to ignorant things.
Test my faith? I am Catholic.

Most people will favor their own religion. And besides the fact, the religion of peace is not nonsense. Practically, it may not work, but it is not non sense. Onto your question - without being bias: a religion that promotes peace (all, contrary to popular belief), a religion that has some sort of goal at the end of the tunnel to keep people striving for more, something more than in human form and in the present day - something far away in the future in a spiritual form. Note, the spiritual form does not have to be defined. That goes from science to "something higher", to those who believe Jesus is God to those who belief God is almighty and not human.

The only religion that works is one that people choose with their own hearts. The most successful religion on earth, now almost 1/3 of the world's people, is Christianity. It's the only religion built on the idea of helping people to succeed. Everybody wants to learn how to do this - even muslims. No other religion except Christianity has ever been able to figure out how to "grow" the idea of helping others. That is why "Christian" countries are so incredibly successful, beyond the wildest dreams of our ancestors.

There is *NO* religion that should be the world's religion. All religions have value and lead to the same destination (eventually). Everyone is where they are supposed to be and we are all naturally drawn to the belief system from which we can extract the most value for our place in time. Why can't people realize that and just leave others be. Revel in your own peace and tranquility that you derive from your beliefs and let others do the same.

If you went to great trouble to build a large, beautiful, extensive, garden ... filled it with healthy, delicious food, and a huge variety of creatures to care for it's needs as well as bring you joy & joy to them, how would you feel if one of your creatures turned against you, claiming that you have selfish motives, & turning as many as possible away from cooperating in the project? Remember, you created them all, & with only the highest of motives ...
You likely would plan the best strategy to foil your foe's attempts, and in such a way to make it unnecessary to ever have such a thing happen again! That is what God has done, & it is in the process of being fulfilled now ...

However, MANY people & organizations have unjustly given God a HORRIBLE reputation in the minds of the vast majority of mankind, by their hateful, greedy conduct --while Claiming to represent Him & his word-- and also by their many False teachings! He's been Painted as the Very Worst possible type of person, when Each of those lies is Only applicable to his adversary & his adversary's followers!

They teach either that God does not exist, or that He is bloodthirsty, unforgiving, & full of hate, when the reality is just the opposite.
Individuals need to search for the truth about it for themselves, as He promises to reveal his purposes to those who Really Want to know the answers, who search for Him with an honest heart.

Jesus said that many of the normal activities of life would be occurring at the time of the end, not that everything will have come to a standstill ... That the majority would be ignoring his presence, rather that trying to be a survivor. That many who think they will be survivors will not be, as they were content to listen to the lies of God's opposers -- instead of His True worshippers.
God is the one who put us here to begin with, through his son. It is He who will put things right again, also through His son ...
Soon, the only religious teachings will be those that are REALLY in the Bible. None of those that merely claim to be will exist ever again. This will mean REAL Peace, Security, & Prosperity, for the Earth & it's obedient inhabitants, forever more.
It is my hope to be there to see & experience it ...

There will be a one world religion and a one world government someday. Maybe sooner than we think. I believe there is a large, very strong "religious" church in the world today, know as the mother of all... that is pushing for this and has been for a long time. They use the name of God, but they are not really of the name of God. Read your Bible, it tells all...

Hinduism. It is not a religion but a way of life human shoul life. It has health issuses like yoga and meditation. Peace related like prayers and mantras. and life to live related in the vedas and the puranas. The oldest religion found by no one as it was the way of life humans leave in ancient times. Till today those in deep hindusim are able to produce great saints and sages like buddism. Which other religion can prodce such magnificant result.Hindusim is science rather that a religion itself.

Jehovah's Witnesses agree throughout the world, they all worship the Sovereign God of the universe, they live peacefully and have true love amongst themselves and for others. I believe that the world would be a better place if everyone would truly study the Bible, put God first in their lives and truly follow in the ways Christ taught.

Funny just after reading the question I was going to say a religion based on peace and truth which would eliminate religion completely. Sorry if the question fails the parameters.
Besides the point is to do away with verbal fascism without denying freedom of speech or the power of groups as opposed to individual rights.
peace out

The religion given to us by GOD and that is ISLAM.
Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.
