I'm just curious that's all. Everybody can answer this question. As for my fellow non religious people what religion or religions if any at all do you like and why? Respectful answers please.

I like all the religions for one thing or another. If we can take out all the positive aspects of each religion and meld them together without being bogged down in petty red tape scuffles then may be there would be less backbiting and more harmony ,love and peace in the world. If we concentrate on our similarities and discuss our differences in real dialogue that is rationally discussed then it could be we could come close to a real serenity and a peaceful existence .

Wow, nice question. I'm a Christian myself, of some stripe or another, but I find just about all religions fascinating. I think all religions are man's quest to discover the Truth of who God is, and some succeed better than others, maybe, but all arrive at some level of truth. I think it's better to listen to others and discern the truth for yourself rather than being arrogant enough to think you've got the whole Truth.
Personally, I find Taoism, particularly the philosophical side, to be full of wisdom and insight. Buddhism is a wonderfully contemplative religion that is well worth the time spent with it. And I'm always interested in paganism and how particular beliefs & cultures interact.

I am a Christian, United Methodist.
I like some of the Pagan and Wicca traditions because they seek to have community with others and with nature. Every Wicca I have ever met has been very kind to me.
I like what I know of Shinto. It's a religion that acknowledges and relishes the natural beauty of Earth.
Strangely, I also admire Atheists for their rationality. I personally do not want to put my reason above the idea that there is something beyond my intellect, but I do not want to throw out my intellect either and atheists have a drive to keep an importance on thinking.

I embrace all religions. I've studied them and taken from each something into my eclectic Pagan beliefs. The only religion that does not set well with me is Christianity because there are far more untruths in it than there is any truth. What I learned about Jesus in my religious studies is nothing like what these Christians are trying to sell. Christianity has far too many inconsistencies for my liking.

I've been a Catholic, atheist, agnostic, Pagan and now a Hindu. I didn't really like being an atheist or agnostic tho I certainly respect people who do. I liked being Pagan except for the power trips some people got on, and I liked the Catholic rituals but just could not for the life of me get "into" Christianity at all.
I'd say Buddhism but that's really just Hindu philosophy without worship...
I like the solidarity of the Muslims, but again, the Abrahamic religions I just can't take to...
Hmmm....this is tough...

I'm a fan of Buddhism; peaceful and introspective.
I like Judaism's history and traditions.
I love Wicca, but boy was I lousy at it!
Hinduism is so rich and varied.
Taoism, Shinto, Confucianism -- all contain much wisdom.

I'm an atheist and I like wicca.
Its aesthetically pleasing to me and I would believe that a polytheism has less chance of stripmining society with an objective morality when they have multiple entities to worship.

Buddhism.
It preaches peace and Ultimate Knowledge which in the end is what every Scientist strives for.
