i like the question. because it infers that there is a true religion. and of course everyone believe they have the truth.

I would say join the jehova witnessess or the mormon church.

the mormon church is better than they all!
but in some places its worse then any fundamental church at the same time.

technically! you should not ASK anyone what church to join. You should ask God in prayer and fasting and be sincere to receive the answer.
once you receive an answer you must deliberate on the "source" of the answer if you ever receive one! Satan and all his fallen angels like to form false churches and demi gods as long as it detours your soul from worshipping and finding the true God.
Dont join the church of the Pink Bunny!

i dont know it just sounds GAY.

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

There are at least two athiests that are members of the Unitarian Universalist church that I go to.

UUs do not have any creed or dogma thay they have to believe, nor scriptures.

They only have a set of 7 principles that you agree to. To find out about UUs go to their website www.uua.org.

Before you think UUs are a new age religion or something; they started out as two seperate faiths. during the Christian reform movement of the 16th century.

The Unitarians believed in the unity of God (not a trinity that Catholics were trying to shove down everyones throat.

The Universalists began to refute the teachings of John Calvin. Calvinists teach that only the elect (a tiny minority will be saved). The Universalists believed that ALL souls are worthy of salvation. Many of the earlier Universalist churches were called "All Souls"

The two religions merged in the 1960s to form the Unutarian Universalists religions.

As a UU; I have the freedom to search for the answers to my spiritual questions in any of the assorted scriptures for different religions, and also via personal experiences (the life of the mystic)

Hawai'ian mysticism answers my spiritual questions; and I attend the local UU church.

You cannot ask what church to join, but rather, Why should I join your church. Ask many different people. Research it. Try some out but do not make ties until you like their doctrine. Question everything your preacher says and be willing to find another if you see a corrupt doctrine. I think if you do this you'll end up Baptist lol. But like you said everyone thinks they are right.

I definitely agree about the Pink Bunny Church. He should stick to making batteries

So, you should pray about a certain faith to get revelation from God to see whether it's true or not, rather than do any kind of research yourself. Honestly, you shouldn't need to be praying about it, it should be fairly obvious. For me, a red flag goes up any time anyone asks me to do that, it just signals a con. God gave you a brain, read the Bible and know what you believe first, then and only then should you find the denomination/religion that fits that belief.

Go to different Churches and see how you feel about them. In all honesty it doesn't matter where you worship as long as you do.

Definitely the Unitarians. It's the only church where you tell God "how things are gonna be."
