Those 6 are hardly the only options... And I find this silly rather silly to begin with... If one can be forced to become religious, mind control is being used, if someone has mind control that could change someone's fundimental moral beliefs, then my inclinations would hardly matter...
This question is equivalent to the following:
"If someone made you think, and continue to believe something, what would it be?
a. Two and two is twenty six
b. You are a member of the opposite sex
c. Blue, red, and orange, are really all the same color
d. You can fly"
I do not have a preference as i don't believe in any of these systems (and in fact, hold a belief that one shouldn't join such systems at all), and I can't imagine believing any of these things... Essentially in order for this change to occur, i would have to become a different person, and I cannot possibly predict how a person I have very little information on will behave.

Buddhist because i would be least criticized there.
Christians no matter what, a few are crazy-( my opinion )
Jew- people hate them for some unkown or realistic reason
Muslim- everyone thinks they are religous fanatics, which most of them are not
Some weird cult- just plain crazy in the publics eye ( my opinion )

Buddhist (BTW, Shinto is a completely different religion), Buddhist have no issues with atheism, and don't mind a Buddhist being an atheist.

F. Some weird cult sounds the most interesting option.

It's very bizarre that you are aware of so few options, that you group buddhism and shinto together, and that you posed the question in the first place.
Buddhists and pagans/wiccans seem the least harmful to both themselves and others (unlike christians, who kill tens of thousands every year in the states alone just by opposing medical progress and education).

I dunno but probably C because i have heard of a few Jewbags who don't believe in "God" and that is one of the main reasons I too am an Atheist. Also there are Christians who don't go to church, (another reason to not be religious, damn rituals) but it's still worse, I guess the answer is C for me, but I'd rather commit suicide than be forced into religion. So sue me!

If I were forced to become religious, I'd seriously think about offing myself...
I guess e. Buddhist/Shinto would be my best bet. At least they are a peaceful people who don't judge others and stay to themselves.

Buddhist, because I would get to remain an atheist. However, I would also become a revolutionary to resist the forces that were compelling people to enlist in a religion.

E - Buddhist. Its not as illogical as all the others, because it doesn't believe in divine power. It just believes in living this life peacefully and morally ... not unlike my beliefs right now, minus the meditating.
