Please do not say your religion is the only way. Please choose one that you are not currently part of. And in your answer include the religion you belong to now, as well.
This is just a hypothetical answer. It's at least one way that people can find something positive in another religion. I'm sure most people are not planning to, nor do they ever wish, to convert. I just want to know what religion each person respects most besides their own. Or which religious philosophies and doctrines most fit with your idealogy.
Atheists/Agnostics: I realize you don't believe any are true, but just humor me here and pick the most believable one.

Let me clarify: It doesn't have to be a religion you believe in - that would mean you don't believe in your current religion. I just want people to say, for example "okay I'm Christian, but if I wasn't Christian I would be Muslim because they get 72 virgins (or whatnot)". It's not that hard to pick our one religion, of the many, and say one good thing about it.

Im Agnostic.
I always thought that the religions of the past like believing in the sun god and wind god and all that was kind of cool. It just intrigued me. Like Greek and Roman Mythology. Even Wiccan is a cool religion.

Personally None. But why If. You can convert any minute you chose. Religion is a personal thing. Me telling you to go with the Baha'i or the Druze is pointless. I do not have the slightest concept of who you are. What I propose will in all probability one that I think is the best-for me. This is not something that you can do academically. Reading about it is not anywhere near enough. It's like sex. You can read all you want you can get all the opinions you will ever need but if you do not experience it yourself you can not really have an opinion. Religion is a hands on thing.

If I could do that, I would convert to a religion of which I haven't been a member of, before. That way I would start admiring the new religion the way i admire my present religion. I say- the best way to understand( and admire) a religion is to be a part of it. So join all, admire all.
I am an Hindu since birth.

I'm perfectly happy as an atheist, but if I was forced to choose a religion that I don't need, I would only pick another philosophy with no gods that encourages education and personal responsibilty - like Buddhism or Satanism.

If I had to convert hypothetically speaking, It would be to Christianity. Why? because alot of what Jesus teaches is almost the same as what I'm being taught at the moment. I am an aspiring Hare Krishna devotee(ISKON) and I have read our scriptures as well as the bible.

If I wasn't a Christian, I would be Buddhist. Buddhism has some WONDERFUL teachings.
However, I respect EVERY other religion, except satanism.

The most believable one, this is so cute!
I'm a Baha'i. If it were shown to me in the Scriptures that the Baha'i Faith is false, then without a doubt, I'd become a Muslim, hands down. However, without this proof of the Baha'i Faith being false, it would be unwise to change, don't you agree? I mean, we must see proofs for something so important as religion.
I couldn't become a Christian, because then I would have to deny Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and deny that the Holy Qur'an is the Writ of God. I do believe that it is the Writ of God, so Baha'i I remain.
If it ever were proven to me that my Faith is false, I wouldn't have a pride thing going on about it, I'd just go where God wanted me, which would be in Islam.

permit me make it sparkling that i'm a Christian. nonetheless, i'm able to nonetheless say that faith is an invention of guy, no longer God. God gave us His be conscious, and as we've with almost each and every little thing else we've been blessed with, we've perverted it to extra healthful our purposes. non secular branches have injected regulations into their church homes that have no longer something to do with scripture. they have molded it and misinterpreted it to extra healthful their own needs. The be attentive to God is black and white and yet faith has provided the worldwide hues of gray. that's little ask your self atheists are so bitter. there is in simple terms one God. he's a loving God that gave us each and all of the alternative, the unfastened will, to have faith in Him or no longer. a individual would not choose faith to love God.

Buddhism - because the beliefs and values mirror my own so very much. I believe that through peace, understanding and belief in ourselves and others, we will overcome any other power.
I am an Anglican who rejects the Catholic church, bible and its teachings, for it has many, many mistakes and hypocrisies.
