i believe all religions are corrupt, Some individual churches and mosques may have a form of righteousness but none of them are true. there is only ONE Faith, and it can only be classified by purity and obedience to the ONLY TRUE God.

Unitarian Universalism follows morality but does not adhere to one vision of God and does not ask for money or have sex with children.
Unitarian Universalists (UUs) believe in complete but responsible freedom of speech, thought, belief, faith, and disposition. They believe that each person is free to search for his or her own personal truth on issues like the existence, nature, and meaning of life, deities, creation, and afterlife. UUs can come from any heritage, have any sexual orientation, and hold beliefs from a variety of cultures or religions.
Concepts about deity are quite diverse among UUs. Some believe that there is no god; others believe in many gods. Some believe that God is everything. Some believe in a female God (Goddess), a passive God, or that god is found in nature. Some UUs reject the idea of deities and instead speak of "universal spirit" or "reverence of life". Unitarian Universalists believe that individuals should be supported by their community in their personal searches for truth about deity.

I believe that Christianity is the best religion because it is the only religion where the main person (in this case God) loves you and requires you to do nothing but obey him and trust him. He is the only master that will send you to do a task and will still go with you. He is the only one who will wait for you and will forgive you no matter how many times you screw up. Forsake him, he will not forsake you. Deny him, he still loves you. The problem is, people take his amazing love for granted. And also, too many people out there who claim to be Christians are not showing how Christians should behave. So whenever someone says,"I am a Christian" they immediately think that, "Oh you are corrupt, you are so hypocritical and judgmental..blah blah blah" But the truth is, a real Christian isn't like that. So to answer your question, Christianity is the best. Also you don't really have to work for heaven either. Imagine if you had to pay to get into heaven. How many of us would've gone to hell? To get into heave you only have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believe that he died on the cross for you sins, read his word and obey him and his word. You don't have to perform tons of cleansing ceremonies, you don't have to travel across the globe once a year, you don't have to make sure that you never cut your hair. God is awesome. Christianity is awesome. Thank God!

Religions are inanimate, it's people that are corrupt or not. The spirit of the vast majority religions is to provide a path for people to better themselves. People are various ways along the path - yes, some just use the path for convenience, some abuse it, some clearly don't understand it.
I don't think you can pursue 'truth' or 'purity' without a guide. Once you achieve it you can dispense with the guide. I prefer people on any path to people wandering loose!

No religion is good. Religion takes the place of God and is it self a god. Thus, religion is a false God because it is man created. We see some good in religion and some bad as well. This is because religion is created by imperfect man. Therefore, there are bound to be good and bad sides to it. The only way to God is through faith alone, and this not through religion. True faith can never be perverted.
Religious people often give the impression that they have something that connects them to God and that only they can show you how you can get to God. The reality is that God is not limited to anyone at anytime. God does not need prophets or leaders to speak on his behalf, but reveals himself equally to anyone who calls on Him.
God does not need anything or anyone, but it is through the awarness and faith that you can never be seperated from God that opens you to receive the answers you seek.

Indeed many teaching are corrupt. Jesus the Son of God purchased us a relationship with God the father. Our rightious has to be in Christ alone and no other. Many religions are false and teach follow me and not God. They are leading many to hell and judgement. I will only point people to Jesus and to his Father. Sin is the problem even today in church. Also we have many cult churchs in these times also.

I believe you are wrong. As a Buddhist I see no corruption in the Dharma which has never been logically refuted in thousands of years in logical debate. PEOPLE are corrupt... religions are religions and a product of various people who may or may not be corrupt. To paint with such a wide brush is rather unkind, not wise and rather arrogant... and let me tell you from personal experience... arrogance will never get you a good result.

Christianity is based on faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind. Jesus was the promised messiah and king prophesied about throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament is the explaination and revelation of His coming and that He will come again.
We put our faith in Jesus Christ that He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead to cover our sins forever and that we might also overcome sin and death. He will forgive us for our sins and bring us into new life in Christ. We leave our old life of sin behind and walk on in newness of life in Christ.
John 14.6 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father except by me."
Romans 10.9-11 "9 If you use your mouth to say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. 10 We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed."
Jesus forgave me for my sins on June 5th, 1992 when i asked Him to come into my heart. I felt as if a great weight had been taken away and my life was filled with happiness and joy immediately. And, dude, I had been down a roguh road in life and never thought anybody would offer forgiveness full and free like Jesus does.
If He'll do it for me, He'll do it for anybody.
Hope that helps.
Jesus Loves You

How did you manage to count the number of gods? That's quite the achievement.

Find a religion with one standard authentic holy book regardless of sects or denominations, and that'd be your answer.
God knows best
