If you had to choose a worldwide religion...

The Church of the Subgenius

I can't think of any religion or ideology about which I could confidently say "yeah. This will make everybody better".
Am I weird?

Does beer worship count?

Probably Buddhism-Lite ... no reincarnation or Wheel of Life, focused on rationality and susceptible to change.

Beer existed before the beginning of recorded history, so by antiquity alone it has merit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer#History

Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9500 BC, when cereal was first farmed,[11] and is recorded in the written history of ancient Iraq and ancient Egypt.[12] Archaeologists speculate that beer was instrumental in the formation of civilizations.[13]

I'd say you've got a good "case" right there.  :-D

Can save a billion people from starvation and still be evil if you teach them the tooth fairy is real, may as well let them die than live in ignorance.

I realize this is all hypothetical, never-going-to-happen... but wow, seriously? Shit, if it would save 1 starving person I would gladly teach them that the tooth fairy lives under their pillow and wants their teeth so they can have food on their table.

Ideology should never come before human suffering.

I seriously cannot stand beer... there was some Peach and Indian Pale that was drinkable, but if it wasn't with a friend on a rare occasion knowing that I wouldn't be expected to go drinking with them again... no thanks, I'll pass.

Though on the other hand, I always found the whole process of brewing beer (and all liquor for that matter) pretty interesting, so I guess I am not completely giving the middle finger to human history :P.

Worship mead instead. It is about the same age, and much tastier.

(Ohhhhh I see a competing religion coming  :roll: )

I think I'll stick to worshiping Google

I feel strongly about this. I really feel that ancient alcoholic beverages that have nutrient value, can be made at home and have nurtured and eased mankind's pain for centuries is truly the answer. Mead and beer can live together in harmony.

I have proof of the spirituality of beer. Fat Tire, my personal fave, is not sold in Utah. Why? Competition and fear, my friend. The religious leaders tremble at the very name.

Not competing religion, mead is part of the trinity.

The Pale Ale, The Mead, The Holy Stout.

All respectable religions gots to have a trinity of sorts.
