The first three are just different sects of the same basic monotheistic religion called judaism.
Hinduism is also at root a monotheistic religion but one that has a multitude of manifestations (avatars) of the God Brahma.
Buddhism is not a religion as much as it is a form of psychotherapy. It has a deist form of God if it aknowledges God at all. It is about self awareness and finding peace.
I respect what is underneath Buddhism but its organized practice is just as rigidly authoritarian as the previous four.
Agonism is not a religion but a school of political theory. Most politiucal theory want to reach for an ideal utopian world of peace and harmony. Agonism takes the view that conflict is hgow the world functions. That the war between people is continuous and never ending. Agonism holds that unless this is respected all political theory is just utopian pipe dreams.
Atheism should not even be capitalised. All atheism means is no belief in God(s). There is no unifying cosmology or politics. Atheists cover a whole spectrum of different belief systems.
They tend to value rational thought and critical thinking over faith.
The current war on atheists by the religious right is forcing them to group together and define a position.The religious are creating their own enemy in this case.
Now how to rate them? Only the first four are actually religions. I do not believe them. The rest are not religions. They are political and philosophical ideas. Use them as you need them like tools.

My following ratings are 0 being the lowest, 10 being the highest.
Islam - 7.
Christianity - 8.
Judaism - 8.
Hinduism - 7.
Buddhism - 9.
Agonism - I don't know enough about agonism to make an informed choice.
Atheism - 9.
My religion, by the way, is Christianity. Yes, I rated atheism higher than my religion.

By the way Atheism and Agonism are not religions.

Atheism isn't a religion. I can't rate something that doesn't qualify.
Otherwise...
1- 2
2- 3
3- 3
4- 3
5- 6
6- I have no idea what "agonism" is.
7- Again, not a religion. It is, however, the only logical choice.

Islam-On paper, about the same as two and three, but currently being ruined by a small circle of violent fucktards. 4
Christianity-Some are hypocrites who bash gays and believe themselves to be morally superior than the rest of the planet. Others are like a totally different religion. Christmas is awesome. 4
Jews-Not bad for monotheists, on average. However, they ARE responsible for holding up one end of that feud in Israel over who gets control of which postage stamp of land. 5
Hinduism-I like hamburgers... but vegetarianism is the worst thing I know for certain about them. I think they were involved in some stupid war for another postage stamp of land called Kashmir with the Muslims, but that's it for bad things that come to mind. 6
Buddhism-Great. I prefer to invent my own moral system rather than copy someone else's, but if I had to choose a religion it would be Buddhism. 7
Agnosticism-Good choice that acknowledges the limits of human understanding instead of pretending to know everything. 9
Atheism-Unless you are smart enough to prove what you say, then you shouldn't be an atheist. Disproving God is hard, and in truth you can disprove a given religion but never all possible gods. 5
I classify myself as either an atheist leaning towards agnostic or an agnostic leaning towards atheism because I have done just about as much disproving as I feel necessary, even if I will never disprove all possible Gods.
For those who bring up the example of Stalin when discussing atheists and agnostics, consider these people first:

The short explanation for all of atheist morality is that we just want to do good because 1) it makes you more popular and is kind of fun and 2) being evil often has unpleasant worldly consequences.

I give pretty much a zero to all religion. Religion will kill you. Rather I suggest you develop a relationship with God Almighty through the reconciliation of Jesus. Take a Blood Bath(spiritually speaking of course) in the Blood of Jesus, thus making God your Father and you his child. RELATIONSHIP NOT RELIGION.
I Cr 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!

All religions suck...simply, they're a way for people to be controlled by others. Get a thought, stop believing everything you 've been told. I give 'em all a big 0.

False religion is what most of it is is all wrong and not in line with what God wants. If your dead because you in the wrong religion your dead. How can there be different degrees of death?
1. your really dead and deserve to be dead because it is cruel and in human. to bad there isn't a hell for you. -0
2. there may be one tiny branch of Christianity that is right and saved but the rest are all going to die. Luke said how many will be saved Jeuse said few. 2
3.dead, not breathing and turned back into dust. O
4 dead O
5 dead
6 dead
7 dead
