Which religion is most powerfull on the earth?

Answer 1

The powerful religion is Sanatana Dharma, for it has no beginning or end. It was never started and it is never going to be finishned. It is always existing. It is eternal.

The very word, Sanatana means that which has no beginning or end and therefore, Sanatana Dharma is by definition is eternal religion. It is based on the Vedas, which literally means knowledge. Veda also called as Sruti(that which is heard) is coming down since time immemorial through the chain of disciplic succession from guru to disciple. Vedas or Sruti were handed down through aural reception and the same thing was written down around 5000 years back.

With the teachings of God to Abraham and Moses, Judaism began around 4,500 years back.

Buddhism began with the birth of Lord Buddha around 2500 years ago.

With the birth of Jesus Christ around 2000 years,Christianity began.

With the birth of Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) around 1300 years back the Holy Al' Quran came in to existence.

Sanatana Dharma or the eternal religion based on the Vedas, eternal but in written format-5000 years back
Judaism as is seen today - 4500 years back
Buddhism with the advent of Lord Buddha - 2500 years
Jainism around the same period as that of Buddhism
Christianity with the birth of Lord Jesus Christ- 2000 years
Islam with the birth of ProphetMohammed(pbuh) - 1300 years

God is one only, irrespective of the religion being Christianity, Islam, Hinduism etc... God sends His different sons or representatives or prophets and gives through them much information about God consciousness, at different times in various places. According to the limitations of some particular places and knowledge of the persons present the knowledge about the God various degrees.

People become more and more materialistic with the progress of external glamor forgetting the spiritual knowledge. Therefore, the later religions contain the knowledge of God with fewer information. The lesser knowledge about the God, the adherents of that faith tend to be more narrow minded. The more the knowledge about God, the practitioners have a complete understanding in a broader perspective.

The Vedas being eternal was written down around 5000 years back can be compared to an encyclopedia has a broader understanding of God. Whereas, around 2000 years back Christianity came into existence with Jesus Christ has fewer information about God came be compared to a pocket dictionary.

Introduction to Bhagavad-gita-As-It-Is, by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON(International Society for Krishna Consciousness).

Yet man professes to belong to a particular type of faith with reference to particular time and circumstance and thus claims to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or any other sect. Such designations are non-sanatana-dharma. A Hindu may change his faith to become a Muslim, or a Muslim may change his faith to become a Hindu, or a Christian may change his faith and so on. But in all circumstances the change of religious faith does not effect the eternal occupation of rendering service to others. The Hindu, Muslim or Christian in all circumstances is servant of someone. Thus, to profess a particular type of sect is not to profess one’s sanatana-dharma. The rendering of service is sanatana-dharma.

Factually we are related to the Supreme Lord in service. The Supreme Lord is the supreme enjoyer, and we living entities are His servitors. We are created for His enjoyment, and if we participate in that eternal enjoyment with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we become happy. We cannot become happy otherwise. It is not possible to be happy independently, just as no one part of the body can be happy without cooperating with the stomach. It is not possible for the living entity to be happy without rendering transcendental loving service unto the Supreme Lord.

Answer 2

Since Christians aren't really consolidated in a way to give them real "power". Buddhists are fractionalized as well. Communist countries aren't based on religion (China for instance)
Jews have power through US support in Israel which is considerable, and they also have a government somewhat controlled by religious forces.
Muslims have probably the most power, divided amoung several nations some more radical than others; but all the countries having a strong religous base to their government. At the moment, Syria and Iran are probably to be feared most because they are threatening use of power against Israel. Since Israel has nuclear weapons, anyone seriously threatening them must also have equal weapons at their disposal.

Answer 3

Without a doubt, Apostate Christianity is the most politically powerful of the worlds religions.
I say Apostate Christianity because true Christians follow Jesus' admonition and command to 'be no part of the world' and thereby escape receiving the 'mark of the beast'. Beast being the Biblical symbol of the political governments on earth.

Answer 4

The power of a Religion can be measured by analyzing how fast and effectively its teachings attract people and conquer their hearts, and what is more: input or outgo. Religions are not forcibly imposed; they are voluntarily embraced after considered thought, deep study and concrete judgments. Highly educated and well placed people are today attracting towards Islam and converting largely with none to leave. It is a complete code of life for Muslims to guide/teach at all steps, times and places; to restrain from crimes and sins and to command good virtues and humanity.

Answer 5

Why would that really matter? Want to know who to follow? The future will be ruled by the most powerful church ever known, the Church of the Subgenius. All other faiths will either bow to it's inherrant wisdom and contradictions, or meet a Pink Death on X-day.

Answer 6

Define Power & then seek the answer to your time-wasting & nonsense question.It is mindless comparisons like these which make the life of ordinary people like me hell due to religious conflicts,wars & riots.
Religion is nothing but a crowd following some icons without understanding fully what they mean or worse,making their own un-educated notions about it.
The real thing is Spirituality in the religious tenets which encourage each person to enquire into the nature of life & its source (commonly referred as God) in his/her own way.
This is the way we have been doing it in the land of Bharat for millenia & this is the way it will remain.
Please mind your own religious life & stop these ignorant & futile comparisons.
Better still,kindly undertake a deep study of various religions & understand their message,& the time,place & conditions in which they developed in their country/place of birth.

Answer 9

All religions which preach love and tolerance are powerful. Saibaba says that there is only one religion, i.e., the religion of LOVE. Fighting in the name of religion in really bad. If we really understand the basics of any religion, all prophets teach only ever widening love towards all creatures of the world-nagarajan.
