This is the main problem of the world!
When we start claiming ANYTHING as being "Better Than" or "Worse Than" anything else, we supress the grand differences in everything that is Life!
We all need to see that we are ALL our OWN Best!
There is no such thing as "Better Than"!

They all are NOT equal. Scientology robs it members of money on a large scale. Abrahamic religions tend to be much much more intolerant then religions like Taoism or Buddhism. Also "Religions vary in their degree of idiocy." Telling people a UFO is gonna pick them up after they commit suicide is not as bad as promising Heaven if they lead a good life. Teaching love is not the same as teaching people to fight a holy war against those who do not agree.

All religions are not created equal. Jesus Christ is a universal savior who came for all of mankind -- no matter who you are -- no matter what you have done. He offers salvation to all. He taught that we should love and care for each other. He taught that we should have a passionate concern for the poor and the oppressed. He taught peace. He taught that God is love. Compare this with religions that divide people into castes or religions that promote violence against outsiders and the mistreatment of women.

For the moment in the usa , the best religion is christianity, this is so because most people have this religion in usa, and you thus wont be an outcast. If you live in other countries it might be hip to be muslim , or atheist, animalist, buddist etc.

It is only opinion, of course, but I think Buddhism is the most useful religion. It tells you to see for yourself. It contains the best tools for training the mind, which would improve the practice of any religion. For if you do not notice your thoughts and then learn to refrain from attachment to them, you can never truly choose your actions. Your actions will mostly be the result of impulses, and not awareness. Buddhism does not concern itself with dieties, but with awareness. Jesus teaches Buddhism.

without bashing anyone's religion i'll just say,not all are good,some don't even follow bible standards.i am a Jehovah witness and i cannot find fault with it.we strictly follow the bible,and treat everyone nice.we follow in Jesus's footsteps,by going door to door and preaching the words of Jehovah.

i didn't want to have to do this, but you guys forced me with that "all religions are equal" crap. God told me the list. Here it is.
Buddhism
Wicca
Unitarian universalism
humanism
Raelianism (surprised me too)
Confucianism
whatever the Amish believe
Judaism
Christianity
Hinduism
Islam
Mormonism
Scientology (don't sue me)
Satanism

hope yours did well! But don't blame me if it didn't, this is God's list, take it up with Her.

In my opinion; all religions are equal. I do not judge someone based on what religion they are.
I, myself, am a Pagan. But I do not look down on other religions.

The best? No religion. The worst? All religion.

Some are better than others, in the sense that some flavors of nonsense are less nonsensical than others. It is futile to attempt to identify the "best" and "worst" -- if for no other reason than that there are so many.
