Whatever works to make you a better person, makes you happy and fulfilled, and makes sense to you in your journey through life is the BEST religion for YOU!
No one religion is right for everyone. What a blessing that actually is, if only we could all see that! How boring would this world be if we all thought the same, wore the same clothes, had the same color skin, and thought EXACTLY THE SAME THOUGHTS How dull! How stifling for progress, for the exchange of ideas and new energy!
Terrific question!
Bright Blessings,

The definition of christian is one that believes that salvation comes through Christ and to get that salvation one must accept Christ as one's savior and accept the divinity of Christ.
By that definition, catholics, seventh day adventists, and mormons are all christians since they all have that basic belief. Some details may differ, but the most basic definition of christian is applicable to all of them.
Islam is an Abrahamic religion, as is Judaism, and christianity. They all believe in the same G-d. However, in Islam, the path to heaven is in submission to the will of G-d. This is accomplished by following the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed, since the teachings of Mohammed come from the Koran which is the word of G-d dictated to the Prophet. Islam also follows the old laws of the Tanakh...old testament you people call it. Also an important and fundamental difference between Islam and christianity is the concept of original sin. For christians, the whole reason Jeshua (Jesus) came to earth was to die for the stain of original sin on all souls. Original sin is the idea that the sin of Adam has cursed everyone. This means all are born with sin. To wash away that sin one must accept Christ. For Muslims, G-d is a just and loving G-d. As such, G-d does not punish the son for the father's sins. So the concept of original sin does not apply to Islam. Without original sin, there is no need for acceptance of Christ.
Which is the best you ask? That depends on what you want to believe. For Muslims and Jews, Jeshua is not G-d, not the son of G-d, but a great teacher and a prophet.

Are you trying to choose the best religion out of this list or are you wanting to be told what religion we think is best?
I would say the best "religion" would be a relationship with Jesus Christ. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever." Each person has to choose to believe the truth of the Bible or not. Are you going to try to work to get to heaven or are you going to accept the fact that you will never be perfect and need someone to pay for the wrongs(sins) you've committed? Jesus is the only answer for that. He came to earth, lived a perfect life, died to take your sin, and rose from the dead to prove that He is God.
Anyone who doesn't believe what the Bible says is not a Christian. All the groups you mention respect or believe the Bible, but the question is, do they think that believing in Christ is the only way to God?
In John 1:12 & 13 we are told, "He (God) gave the right and the power to become children of God to those who received Him. He gave this to those who put their trust in His name. These children of God were not born of blood and of flesh and of man's desires, but they were born of God."
It isn't people or rules who decide if you are a Christian, but God. He has given that message for us in the Bible.
Read it to find out the TRUTH!!

faith:- faith is a gadget of beliefs and worships which contain a code of ethics and a philosophy of existence. there are a kind of faiths contained in the international as we talk. a number of those religions are of cutting-edge starting place yet maximum of them are very old. in reality all of us understand from heritage that guy has continuously had a faith. Even the primitive adult adult males living in caves or jungles had some type of religion. The techniques and rituals in guy's faith have continuously advanced and change into more desirable rational and state-of-the-paintings as time went on. The primitive religions of the Cave guy and the Bush guy gave upward push to the renowned religions of the previous 3 thousand years. as we talk, the major religions of the international contain: international faith ----- Originated in Zoroastrianism ----- Iran Confucianism ----- China Hinduism ------ India Taoism ------ China Jainism ------ India Judaism ------ Neat East Christianity ------ close to East Islam ------ close to East Buddhism ------- India Shinto ------- Japan those are the comprehensive religions of the international which at the prompt are not purely in charge for all our amassed wealth of understanding, philosophy, ethics, and social and moral codes, yet have inspired the custom, the language and the moral attitudes of very nearly each and every individual living as we talk. enormous difference between religious and Non religious Peoples. a million. The religious human beings trust in something at the same time as the others do not. 2. The religious human beings carry out particular acts of worship at the same time as the others do not. 3. The religious human beings look to save on with a particular code for his or her social and moral behaviour at the same time as the others do not. 4. The religious human beings hit upon a objective of existence and performance a special philosophy in route of it, at the same time as the others do not.

There is only one religion and that is Islam (total submission to God's will), men put a label on it a long time ago and called it Judaism, then others after them called it Christianity… we call it Islam (in our language and the language of our prophet Mohammed (PBUH))… but if you go to the roots it’s all the same thing! The same God demanding from his servants to believe in him alone and not worship anyone else but him.. and to believe in his prophets and the day of judgment and do good deeds in their life time…

Catholics, SDA, and Mormons are Christian (Although many non-mormons accuse them of not being so, as if they an tell mormons what they believe)
Muslims are not Christian.
The best religion is you forging your own path. You know you are being misled when you have to go to church to be taught what you believe.

I am a born again Christian. I believe that you accept christ as your lord and Savior. You believe that he died on the cross for your sins and is coming again. I think that if you have that belief and you live for God (the one and only God in heaven) that you will enter to heaven one day. Hope that helps.
