Which religion do you find more believable?

I voted Buddhism, but in my opinion Buddhism is not a religion, but a philosophy and way of living.

I would have voted for Buddhism, but you asked about religions, so I voted for None of the above.

I think that there is a philosophic Buddhism that isn't burdened with layers of religious garbage. There are also many Buddhists that are fully religious woos.

About all religions can be used as philosophies - it's not like Islam, Judaism and Christianity have nothing left if you take away the supernatural parts. A christian, jew or muslim can choose to believe in that religion's moral code and rules without believing in God and miracles in just the same way as a buddhist can choose not to believe in a soul, rebirth and other supernatural phenomenons.

By the way, why isn't Hinduism one of the alternatives? It's a world religion just like the others.

Well, I don't think someone can legitimately call themselves a Christian or Muslim if they don't believe in a god. They can live by the moral codes laid down by those religions, but without belief in a god it's really not Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.

Well, OK, Judaism has this weird rule where if your mother's Jewish, then you're Jewish no matter what you believe, but being Jewish is also a cultural thing and not just religious, so...
