Since a lot of people here believe it is in your best interest to find God I'd though I'd ask this question...
If you had to choose a religion to practice what would it be and why, in other words what religion do find the most interesting?

Sorry if the question is kind of confusing, If you wouldn't mind explaining your decision please share.

Please, I am a Deist and completely respect Atheism. I'm not trying to offend anyone, it is difficult appropriately word this kind of question.

Mine would have to be Wicca.
Why? Because in Wicca you can choose what to believe, there are no rules, and no one will judge you for it :)
Freedom!

If I had to choose a religious practice it would be Buddhism. I definitely find Buddhism the most interesting religion I have studied thus far. Also, Buddhism does not require a belief in God(s). It seems to really enhance the quality of life and I have actually been studying it a bit lately. The more I learn, the more interesting it seems. Most Buddhists seem very content and happy and it is a very peaceful religion that would not compromise any of my beliefs.

I'd choose Taoism. It doesn't have a God per se, just a concept called "the Way," which represents a transcendent reality that is made mainifest in everything that happens around you. The "rules" are that you should try to be in harmony with the Tao, which you can measure by the extent to which your life is peaceful and not in conflict.
It's interesting because it's totally self-contained, and doesn't require that you give up your mind to someone else who interprets everything for you. All it asks you to do is just live your life.

Jainism (my religion) or Buddhism.
Edit:
Sure. Jainism is a tradition I have grown up in. I try to follow the Jain code of ethnics, but it is extremely difficult to fully live by.
I also like Buddhism because I find it a little less strict and restrictive in its approach.
And there is no God in both these religions.

Buddhism

Hmm. Buddhism would be too pat an answer. I don't want to worship one God, so those with a lot of them wouldn't fit me (though being Hindu would rock since they have so many festivals). I'll go with Zoroastrianism. I don't have to be one to get into it's concept of heaven. Just a short stint in hell, and I'm good. Plus their God's name is Marduk. I can imagine saying "What's up, 'Duk?", but not "What's up, Yahweh?".

I don't think I'd join any of them. If I HAD to choose for some crazy and hypothetical reason, I think I'd go with Hinduism because it leaves the most amount of freedom and expression that I've found. Or Buddhism because I like Buddha's teachings.

Buddhism, because it is the only one that philosophically and practically deals with suffering.
When I have visited Buddhist countries they are happier, more peaceful, more content and more fulfilled than others. They have Christianity totally licked, and leave Islam so far behind in the gutter its barely visible.

A religion that does not require me to believe in absurd supernatural deities, such as Jain or a sect of Buddhism.
