That's an interesting question...hmmm.
Given that I grew up in an almost totally Catholic environment, I've seen firsthand the grandeur and the follies of the religion. I know it back to front, and that's mainly the reason that I don't think I could ever believe in any form of Christianity even if I really wanted to.
I guess if I had to choose I'd go with Buddhism. Perhaps not as old as Christianity, and no where near as "exciting", it offers an at least plausible path to happiness without any necissary intervention from higher beings. Well, at least some branches of Buddhism do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a perfect religion, but it's the one I'd go for. If I had to pick something that is, I'm not going to be reciting the refuges anytime soon :)

Baha'i is the newest world religion that I have found to be somewhat enticing. Unitarian Universalists are very open-minded, as are the people at Unity Church, which is similar to Christian Science except they go to the doctor more often. Unity people tend to be pantheistic or monistic (not monotheistic). Buddhism is my first choice, but I meditate and do yoga regularly and do not consider myself Buddhist. I would love to go to a Native American sweat lodge and learn about their spirituality. However, if I had to choose a religion I would pick Baha'i because in such a right-wind conservative area being able to say that I am a follower of Jesus but not having to go to a Christian church is a BIG plus.

If I had to choose a name-brand it would be Unitarian Universalist (but that's sort of cheating because they don't believe in a god). So I'd go with Buddhism.

religion-a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.
you see, atheism IS a religion and it requires the most faith of any religion because its adherents claim to KNOW a universal negative; that there is no God. To claim to know for certainty there is no higher power completely beyond time and space is equivalent to claiming omniscience.

I have other choices than what you or your faith have to offer, and it is a pity you cannot comprehend that. Aside from perhaps Buddhism or Wicca, I choose to not to participate in your "contest."

I believe even an atheist will call the god when they are in danger. So it is all how you feel with yourself and with the word. Think about it how would you like to be treated? Ask the same question to a religion itself if it is giving you the right answers that is your religion.
