I'don't have a Religion, I have faith. To me Religion is a man in Church thinking about fishing, Faith is a man that is fishing, and thanking God that he's alive.

I'm nondenominational Pagan.
I believe that all religion is about forming a personal relationship with Divinity. Once you have the personal relationship, religion doesn't matter. Claiming one religion to be better than all others is silly. Divinity is Perfect, we are not. Holy books have been altered and translated by imperfect human hands too many times to truly be the Perfect Word of Divinity. Religion is a set of rules on how to live and behave in accordance with Divinity that have been made up by guess who.... Imperfect Humanity, so therefore, religion cannot be perfect. "Oh, but the bible says my religion is the one right religion." Sorry, your bible's been rewritten too many times for me to believe that. Sorry. I'll take the personal relationship I have with Divinity over some dude preaching at me any day.

What's the sense of having only ONE Religion in this World? It makes no sense to me. Every Religion has it's own purpose for every Individual. We learn by each Religion and by doing so, we are able to freely choose the one we want to spiritually engage ourselves with and if we don't believe in Religion? Then by all means, that is our personal right too. Who are we to force Religion upon anyone or change their Spiritual belief? We all are just imperfect Individuals, that's all.

ok im mormon for one thing
second
if someone made up a religion to follow penguins would u actually follow??
i think not.... the point is that we should be able to choose what we believe in how we believe in and the freedoms to choose what we beleive in
so many people died for what we beleive in and that is the freedom to choose.
did u know that in america that the mormons in the 1800s had an extermination order against them because of their spiritual beleifs
they were the only religion in this nation to have a externimation order by a law maker in missouri because he felt threatened by mormons.
so my answer is no. not at the price that people could persecute and actually kill someone for their beliefs today.

Pagan - a mix/match of beliefs actually. No, I don't believe anyone has to follow my religion. I never said my religion would do anything for anyone. I'm not quite that arrogant to think I have such a handle on things, and no one else does, that I would tell other people what they should believe.

Yes, I am a Seventh Day Adventist Christian, and i do believe if everyone follow the ten commandment (read Deuteronomy 5:6-22) we will be living in heaven already. Note that not all people who claim to be a Christian follow them.
But i do know that this is also impossible to happen as long as the devil still exist. But God promise that he will create a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no more pain, no more sorrow & no more crying ever.
Only then everyone will follow the commandments.

Freedom of Choice
[33:72] We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.
[33:73] For GOD will inevitably punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, and the idol worshipping men and the idol worshipping women. GOD redeems the believing men and the believing women. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Do Not Follow Your Parents' Religion Blindly
[5:104] When they are told, "Come to what GOD has revealed, and to the messenger," they say, "What we found our parents doing is sufficient for us." What if their parents knew nothing, and were not guided?
[5:105] O you who believe, you should worry only about your own necks. If the others go astray, they cannot hurt you, as long as you are guided. To GOD is your ultimate destiny, all of you, then He will inform you of everything you had done.

No Compulsion in Religion
[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient
[2:257] GOD is Lord of those who believe; He leads them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are their idols; they lead them out of the light into darkness - these will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.

My religion says theres only one God who cannot be felt by the 5 senses and is eternal and omnipotent while were all humans and His creatures. He doesnt look like a human either.
Infact, no body knows what He looks like.
I think thats the only logical way of believing in God so yes.
