Define religion.
With a tight definition that would not contain Buddhism, I guess Hinduism takes the prize for having the fewest inconsistensies.
In a more common definition, I'd say Buddhism.
It's not really a far step from a definition that considers Buddhism a religion to an even broader one where Confucianism would qualify.
The only way you could possibly have Christianity as the most logical choice is by restricting the options to the self-inconsistency that is the family of one true god Abrahamic religions. And even then, it fails - the others are more self-consistant in their portrayal of the one true god.

No, to me Buddhism makes a bit more sense because it doesn't ask us to shut our minds off and just accept the writings of an ancient book that was written before we had the knowledge we have today. They are open to modern scientific discoveries and all are encouraged to seek truth for themselves and accept what makes sense. In terms of reincarnation and some of the other metaphysical beliefs I would say its on par with the rest of religions. They don't require you believe all this for salvation though and some Buddhists do not. Some branches of Christianity have adapted to the modern world and are open to evolving understanding of the world. Some are not.The Old Testament versus the New Testament are so inconsistent to me though. Did God get a personality transplant, why such a wrathful, illogical deity? Hindus may seem an illogical system when examined from outside but it has a lot of cultural baggage. When studying it in purity it can be seen as a richly symbolic and allegorical. In interpretation like this, stripped of cultural baggage and interpreted symbolically it can be seen to not be illogical but metaphorically rich and beautiful. It doesn't have to conflict with reality and logic. Many see the different Gods in it just as symbolic representations of one as the force of the conception of the universe. Not all though and it also has metaphysical layers that aren't based on logic and evidence. I guess it all depends on the individual and their perception.

Obviously not.
Christianity and Logic are constantly and consistantly at odds. Neither one has any room for the other whatsoever.
The real irony is that both of them in one way or other will inevitably lead, through their own folly, to Nihilism.
Christianity focuses all its efforts on that which cannot be experienced but is supposed to be taken as law despite its only distinct feature being its total and utter absence.
And Logic is a tool used in absolution by a great many people who conveniently neglect to realise that it is only internally consistant, and if logic is chased far enough then it invariably ends up hitting undefined values or even paradox.
But no.... there is nothing logical about christianity. It is by definition the very denial of logic.

The words christianity and logic do not belong in the same sentence

No religion is logical. They are all shrouded in dogmatic belief and rituals.
The most logical form of a belief in God would be deism.

--Christians will probably say yes.
--Muslims will say no
--Hindus will say no
--Jews will say no
--Hellenic Polytheists (like myself) will say no
--Atheists will say NO religion is logical
--Basically what I am saying is --- ANY person who is not a Christian will not say that Christianity makes the most logical sense.

every religion has its own logic,if not the whole world would have been following christanity.

Quite the opposite. There is so much error, lies and contradiction in the christian mythology it is probably the most illogical relgion there has ever been.

There is no logic behind this question itself.

It doesn't many ANY sense to me and it never has.
I'm happy with my Norse gods. They make COMPLETE sense to me.
