Well, religion, by definition, involves supernatural deities or phenomena. In that case, they're all equally false.

None. There is a difference between religion and philosophy.
No religion comes close to actual reality. Some philosophies come close, but they are not religions.
Religions require you to take something on faith (belief without evidence). Philosophy does not.

I'm a naturalistic pantheist which means that "I believe in God/dess but spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." It is sort of like a nontheistic and rational "pagan". It's paganism for the 21st century and is even more earth-centered than "mainstream" paganism which focuses on magic. It is very eco-centered and Green in focus.
Knowing of the interdependence of nature (food cycle, etc.) as well as the interdependence of actions (ancestors' past actions affect my current circumstances and my actions will affect the circumstances of my descendents) fills me with a sense of gratefulness which I demonstrate both through my actions as well as concrete actions of respect and honor.
We celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Some of us even do rituals - for myself I have developed offeratory rituals to honor Nature and the ancestors, Sacred Meal ritual, and chanting and meditation practices. These are available in the files section of the public pantheist groups here on Yahoo and on Beliefnet.
BTW, when you die, you're just dead, except in the memories that you leave behind so live a life of significance.

None, I'm afraid, although you can be an atheist and a Buddhist, so this question is not entirely correct in it's apparent assumption that all atheists do not follow religions.

Greetings! To me, an agnostic, I think Unitarian Universalism comes closest to reality. I don't think anyone really knows who God is, but what is more important is that we live our lives as best as we can.
UU allows us to listen to all kinds of different ideologies that we can adopt into our own lifestyles. While we may or may not accept God, we can accept lifes lessons, which come from all walks of life.
Hope that helps. Happy Holidays!

There are several thousand religions, possibly one of them may but it's too much to research. It's certainly not the top 4.

well seeing as how as an atheist I lack a belief in all gods
and I also lack a belief in all things supernatural (eg life after death in some form)
it'd be one with no gods and no supernatural elements to it

Buddhism.

None at all.
If there was one, I'd probably have converted to that.
If you're asking which ones I like, I'd say either Buddhism or Wicca.
