I've said this before and I'm going to say it again.

Ready?

Religion politics and sports are the three things people will always disagree on. Bring them up at your own risk, and expect opposition.

There's never going to be a real answer just flaming here.

I too will stand behind the banner of Caoism!

In the truth I am an Arithmetician! I believe in the mathematics! It takes faith, you know?

one of the reasons i choose atheism, most religion causes conflict so if you get rid of religion a lot of places could live in peace o.o

I'm Hindu but don't really think any religions are the best. I like Chrisianity because I get Christmas and Good Friday off in school. Other than that I really don't care.

Merechan · 04-25-2011, 05:44 PM

There's no such thing as a best religion. It's your own personal beliefs. Though if the question is asking for what religions I find interesting, I'm fond of Hinduism and Shintoism. They just seem very cool to me and Izanami is my favorite goddess.
Also, atheism is not a religion, it's a lack thereof.
And, I happen to be ex-Catholic now-agnostic.

Actually, it is, since the only thing you need for a religion is a belief about ultimate things. If you are not a theist, that means you don't believe in a creator deity, which means you hold a belief about an ultimate subject. Ergo, religion -- and that belief acts in the world just like any other religion (wars, fanaticism, schools of thought/philosophy, political systems, etc.).

You debate on the Interwebs to get an answer?

You do realize that atheist zealots have killed more people than all religious wars combined, right? Religion is immaterial to the question: any belief taken too far will lead to violence and conflict, simply because people want things their way at the expense of others. Anyway, atheism is a religion, as I've said.

Yes. And because it's marginal or easily overlooked. The op didn't put up Jainism or Baha'i either, along with many others few here are likely to have heard of.

Seals and Crofts are Baha'ists. Maybe I should join up.

Atheism plz =)

Close this thread before a religious Flame War starts. Religion and intelligent debate don't go hand in hand.

It's only a matter of time before an extremist ruins everything.
