I know it's absurd and hopefully it will never happen. But asuming some law would force you in sticking to some religion, to "convert" to a religion (i guess it's not the right word) knowing that you will also be forced to follow some of the rituals, what would you chose?

I am guessing many will say Buddhism, although it is actually more of a philosophy.

I don't practice religion. Religion is man made, God is Spirit to contact God you have to be spiritual. Religion is an opiate for the masses to control them. Human government uses the fear of God's wrath to control the populous. Spirituality will enlighten you set you free and bring you to a higher level of consciousness. The only way to be truly fulfilled and a proper human being is to realize your true self. Your spirit is eternal every thing els is fading away.

I'd like to think it won't happen in Oz - we're not much into religion.
There's a joke - USians and Australians were offered either Religion or Convicts.
Y'all had first pick and as you know you picked religion.
We're ever so grateful.
Oh, we have a few wowsers but they're not too bothersome.
Oh, and I'd pick Spiritual Atheism or Buddhism.
Neither threaten everlasting hell if I fail to test.

If forced, I would make up my own religion, with myself as the sole prophet to the deity. Since I know what is on my deity's mind at all times, I would not need to pray. Hence, I would not have any rituals.

If the law forced me to stick with a religion, I would move to another country. If I couldn't do that, I would reject the law, even if it meant my imprisonment and/or death.

Tibetan Buddhist... or just simply Buddhist. It's more of a lifestyle though... not a religion.

Thanks for asking.

If such a law could be enacted, chances are it wouldn't permit much choice, if any.
But if it did, then I suppose I'd pick roman catholic, since that's how I was raised.
