Buddhism. Reminding us of "cause and effect." Teaching us to mind our own business, not to slander anyone - including yourself; that we are in charge of our own lives - that we are responsible for our actions and will benefit or suffer consequences of those actions. It shows us that overcoming problems makes us stronger. We learn from interactions and become better for it. It stands for world peace. We are taught to follow our bliss and there are no admonitions from a God.

Buddhism

I like many aspects of Buddhism, and love to meditate, but only in my own way.
For instance, when doing group meditations in temples with my friends or students, I don't follow the monk's chants, but let my energy mingle with everyone and everything.
I love the glittering Buddhist temples, the kind, accepting people, etc.

Humanism is the most constructive, but I call that a philosophy more than a religion, so I'd pick the traditional religion that is most philosophical, and second a vote for Buddhism. It's pretty darned cool if you don't worry too much about the compulsive ritualistic aspects. But like any religion, it has evolved into so many sects, and some of them are not so great, meaning, they can be practiced in petty, prejudicial ways just like any other religion.

Humanism has some appeal to me. I have a friend dying of Leukemia who claims, with some justice, that his study & practice of Buddhism coupled with the resulting life style, plus some good medical services, have prolonged his life so far by more than 10 years.

I can't think of any actually. But if there was a religion that also combined science and religious faith that'd be a possible one. Let me think now. That's it ! Scientology ! Oh sh*t no !

As a nullifidian I dislike them all, but when forced to choose, I find pacifist religions such as the Jains or Quakers to be the least likely to cause harm or suffering to nonbelievers, and in this way they have the most offer the world... peace. The comparitive study of world religions, past and present, through an anthropological and historical lens should be taught in the schools.

Satanism; it nourishes self diefication and does not care how others choose to live their lives.

Any of the Abrahamic traditions. Those people don't even read their own books. I think it would help a lot of them realize that their "Religion of peace" is actually a religion of hate.

I wouldn't.

none of them they should be banned.they take way more than they give.

Church of the Subgenius. At least they're funny.

Dudeism. The Church of the Later-Day Dude. We abide.

No religion that I know of has anything of value to offer the world. Yoga. Meditation and music are parts of religious practice that do seem to offer something when practiced or performed apart from the dogma inherent in all religions.

I refuse to answer. Not of my concern making anything mandatory.

I would not choose just one. They would not be chosen on the basis of what they have to offer. I am not sure what that would mean anyway. They would be taught as a part of the human experience and the development of ideas. I would choose faiths that compare/contrast better with one another for the exploration of thought.

Well I don’t believe in mandatory education but that’s a different debate. For the purposes of this question, all of them, a brief overview. When confronted with the variety of religion, something stands out to me and that is the difference between hierarchical and experiential approaches to religion.

That’s an easy question, with an equally easy answer. NO RELIGION. If we could get rid of religion and the political fools, planet earth would be a wonderful world. James

The problem with religion is to be a religion they require belief in a supernatural, the definition being:
the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. I don't believe in the supernatural so I have no interest in doing an in depth study of fantasy.

I believe that after the service is over, and all the followers are congregating outside, the ladies probably delight in scoffing at each others choice of hats,............................. Not so the Muslims.

I think all of them have something to offer, even if it is to realize just how awful the members generally treat those outside of their circle. Each has something to offer and it becomes a question of what kind of person you are. Which one has the most positive lessons, best treatment to human kind regardless of their religious background, and focuses more on what you consider to be most important in life.

Don't fall for religion it offers nothing but ritual and control. Formulate your own independent values.

None....religions are brilliant fear and ritualistic systems designed to both control and captivate us.......
