Or maybe there are several that stand up well?

Science and ancient mystical teachings agree on a model that is internally consistent, agrees with scientific observations, and successfully answers all the great questions of the ages.
That model states that:
Prior to the creation of the physical universe as we understand it, there is only energy. Energy is all that there is and there is nothing that is not energy. This is the definition of infinite - all encompassing.
This energy has been measured by our scientific instruments, and has been called variously the aether, zero point field, dark energy, etc. This energy actually constitutes the fundamental constituent of nature. Matter (electrons, protons, et. al.) is formed of spiraling vortexes of energy that spring from this background field.
Further, we know from quantum experiments that reality is formed when consciousness acts on energy to select an experience from the infinite field of possibilities. Consciousness did not arise from creation, consciousness pre-exists creation and acts to form creation.
This eternal, infinite conscious (intelligent) energy can only be described as God. So God is composed entirely of conscious energy and is infinite and eternal.
Now I'll repeat - Prior to the creation of the physical universe as we understand it, there is only God. God is all that there is and there is nothing that is not God.
God is aware of every aspect of God's divine nature, but being infinite - or all that is - God cannot experience every aspect of divinity.
Consider - if you wish to experience that divine aspect of yourself called forgiveness, it requires there be someone other than you who has done something for you to forgive.
So desiring experiential understanding of every aspect of divinity, God modified the vibration patterns of God's body of energy, manifesting the physical universe according to the physical laws our scientists are beginning to understand, thereby initiating a process of evolution that results in intelligent animal creatures that God can infuse with individuations of the personality of God.
God grants these individuations the gifts of free-will and a veil of forgetting so that they perceive themselves as separate from each other and from God, allowing them to interact and experience all that can be experienced.
All of this is truly a physical illusion created by God for the purpose of experiencing all that can be experienced. The underlying reality is that all matter and all individuations of consciousness are composed of the only thing that exists - the infinite God.
God has further provided a plan whereby the evolving creatures of consciousness can find their way back to the source. This plan merely requires the individual to bring their own nature into accordance with the nature of God - which is pure, total and unconditional Love. When the individual chooses to live in accordance with the will of God by loving all of God's creation just as God does, their vibration patterns are brought into accordance with the divine source and they are returned to the loving arms of the Creator. This has nothing to do with judgment or punishment - it's simply the way things work - a law of the universe just like gravitational attraction.
This was the lesson and example of the life of Jesus, and the core fundamental teaching of all major religions and great teachers of the ages.
So - you are God experiencing all that can be experienced. So is everyone you will ever meet. Creator and created - All is One.
All of creation is merely an illusion, energy held together by energy creating the appearance of matter.
Modern physics is confirming this truth through quantum mechanics, torsion field theory, m-theory and general relativity.

Mormon's, if your using history and the bible as the standard for "logical scrutiny"
On the basics of just the authority from God to lead the church, in the Christian world, it must either be one of the Catholic churches, or the Mormons. Most of the others do not even acknowledge a church must have authority from God for the ordnance's preformed.

Christianity. No one has been more widely studied in history than Jesus of Nazareth.

I don't want to to sound boastful, but it's probably Buddhism, Xiantianism, Confucianism, and Jainism, etc...
Of course those are more philosophies and ways of life,
but they are also beliefs systems .

Asatru.
hands down.
The point is "Live yer life, and live it strong".
F*** the God's. They are not inherrent in Asatru. Although even they warrant belief.

If you believe Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses Our Teacher) gave the Torah at Har Sinai (Mount Sinai) everything else follows. And if you don't nothing matters.

I think Pantheism would stand up very well.
