Thumbs down What is your least favorite religion?

Which one is your least favorite, and why?

Mods, if I mis-spelled any of those, please correct them.

Thanks.

I seriously cannot decide. Probably not Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, or Hellenic/Roman Paganism though.

I'll go out on a limb and lump Judeo-christian religions (including Islam) into one basket.

I voted for Christianity because it is impossible to be a religion. Christianity is the end of religion and so you can't possibly be both: 1) set free in Christ from the bondage of slavery and sin, 2) be enslaved to a religion that convicts us of sin.

Christianity is my least favorite, but mainly because it has plagued my mind in the past and continues to plague the minds of people I care about. But, as far as religions go, I would have to lump Christianity, Judaism, and Islam together as my least favorite religion. Ancient war-gods shouldn't have made it out of the dark ages, IMHO.

Cool

Gotta agree with the beastmaster: Scientology.

Pure money-grubbing scam.

I wonder if the results are more reflective of general distatse for the actions of the followers of a particular belief rather than the actual religion.

Also I wonder where most people place Jevoah Witness & Mormons.
