I was raised a Witness and as a youth now I choose to remain a Witness. Witnesses are by no means perfect but we try to follow the Bible as closely as we can. I like the fact that if you went to any kingdom hall we all are teaching the same things and you know your fellow Witnesses are doing the same work around the world. From old and young alike we're trained to defend our beliefs from the Bible, because we base all our beliefs from the Bible and we make sure what we're learning is the truth. Not many groups can say they follow Jesus' command to preach the good news? Not many groups can say they have a truly united brotherhood? Not many can say they apply Bible principles in every aspect of their lives. We encourage our members to read the Bible daily and meditate on what we read and appreciate the sound counsel the Bible gives on various matters. Being a Witness is not a burden and you know your being taught the truth from the Bible. I wouldn't have it any other way.

None, they should all be abolished. In the developed world religion has run its course as a form of social control. However, in developing countries keep passing the plate around and facing Mecca 4 or 5 times a day otherwise you may have a riot on your hands.

I think the problem that a lot of people have is that they don't pick they just follow their parents religion even if they are not convinced of it
i picked Islam not because my parents were Muslims but because i saw a lot of proof that it i the right one.

I would pick my faith of Hinduism.Simply because it curses no other faith and does not believe people who are of a different faith will go to hell.I like my faith and will stay with it for the rest of my life.Personally I really don't think that any faith which curses another faith to hell or curses the people of another faith to hell is a very good faith.Religion is what brings light and hope to mankind.Religion is what brings us closer to the one creator with many names.Religion is not meant to cause hatred or speak badly of another faith.And any religion that does condemn another faith to hell is going against the meaning of faith itself.And that is to bond us with the creator and bring light to us fallen human beings.Not cause hell and destruction to people who do not follow the same path as you.Simply because of that I will stay with my faith.Simply because it believes in one creator with different names from the various religions.Simply because it see,s the Universe from a cosmic perspective and believes all faiths are the path to heaven and self relization.I don't care that many of the ignorant folk do not understand my faith and am satisfied that I understand it and laugh at the people who blindly discriminate it.I really thnk that if Hinduism were given the chance to explain itself to the world half of the world would convert to it (although that is not the goal of Hinduism,it is to bond with god and reach god just like any other faith).Hinduism is great because though it appears primitive to the ignorant eye,it is filled with philosophy,epics,scriptures that relate to all faiths over 10,000 years old.

Baptists (Southern Convention or independent); they (we) are really ignorant on a lot of things related to the Bible,
But, they are really strong when it comes to love, and kindness, and most importantly the Holy Spirit lives among most of them.
I can get love and kindness from my mother, but that Holy Spirit is almost uniguely Baptist.
(The Holy Spirit just reminded me that some other churches have it also.)
Whoops. I was thinking Church instead of religion. So I would say Christian Religion, Baptist Church.

GREAT QUESTION !
I would hands down choose The Seventh-Day Adventist's.
And the reason for this is because they read and teach strictly from The Bible. They have no answers of there own, if you ask them a question they have you open the Bible and read the answer right out of it with you.
If it can not be found in the Bible then they don't try to make you believe it.
THE BIBLE IS THERE ONLY CREED !
Gods remnant Church spoke of in Revelations, no doubt.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT QUESTION !

Religion is "mans" efforts to reach God. For me, I would stay a Christian. Why? Because its a "way" of life, and the "life" of Jesus, manifested in and through us.
Why? Because Christianity is "God's" efforts to reach mankind. Of which he went though an unlimited extreme to do so.

Buddhism. It's a pure and respectful way to live your life, and Buddha's teachings help to give you peace, joy, and liberation. It doesn't revolve around a deity like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. There's no hell condemning you; no higher being judging your every action. Buddhism is about overcoming suffering and acheiving happiness-- and that's exactly what I want to do.

Unitarian Universalism.
I prefer it because one can acknowledge the existence of Deity but not have to be hidebound to rules and regulations that are not always applicable to the time and place. It is a religion that allows debate and free thinking without the fear of sin and punishment and hell. You are free to develop your own personal views of theology as you see fit.
