I know they are all ridiculous but which one do you view as the silliest of them all?

That is a tough tough question....its' really a toss up. I was trying to think about cultural context in the time the religion was formed, how popular, annoyance factor etc
Ancient: Hinduism is pretty ridiculous, but they have a low annoyance factor and neutral impact on the world, so Christianity has it by a nose.
Modern: Scientology hands down.
There probably are some even sillier religions, but if only 3 people believe in it...who cares.
Sorry C4andyGIrl...Atheism is not a religion by any definition...I don't care how many times religionites repeat it...just like the bible...endless repetition doesn't make something true.

Scientology, which is not science or religion, the the Church of Christian Science, then non theism and evolutionary myths and other fairy tales, when the fairies magically made life and no one said abra cadabra but it happened anyway according to an unspoken, and not a rabbit but life and a cosmos was pulled out from an empty hat. The religion of no cause.
Islam is a respectable religion, Judaism, and Chrisitianity.
Buddhism is a repectable philosophy. Confucianism is respectable, some aspects of Hinduism, the straight wisdom parts otherwise they have some pretty ugly looking idols.
But Jesus is Lord over all. I think Buddha would come to Jesus for salvation, because he is a man that sought it.
Oh I almost forgot, Catholicism as Catholicism has some pretty silly things about it that bring disrepute on the Christian parts of it.

Moonie Cultist scum are probably the most ridiculous and among the most dangerous. They control so many right-wing politicians, including the idiot currently sitting in The White House (and his father) and they control "The Washington Times", UPI and they even own Jerry Falwell. Search any of the above and Sun Myung Moon and you will be amazed.

Religion. Where I come from, astrology is an ancient thing and has been proven to be rather accurate thousands of times over for the past thousand years. Technically, the stars and stuff are astronomy, and the signs are astrology.

Islam is the silliest by far. Their practices are so stupid, like having women cover their heads and faces; or not depicting humans because it's a sin; or calling everyone else an "infidel"; or breeding ignorant Kamikazes.
But on the other hand, worshipping roadkill nailed to a pole is not my idea of a peaceful religion. Carnage is at the very core of Christianity.

1. Pastafarianism- the worship of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
2. Ranaism- worship of the frog goddess Rana.
There may be others, but those are about as silly as they can get!

Heaven's Gate... they all castrated themselves, put on sneakers and trash bags, then committed suicide...all in preparation for the arrival of the "Mother Ship."
No joke...happened about 10 years ago in California (where else?)
