Atheist, if you had to pick the most rational religion which would you pick?

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Honestly I think the options are crap. None of those are remotely rational. What is the point of this any how?

Which is why I don't usually engage in these "debates". I could make the clain that the very air you breath is made entirely of invisible antique glass doorknobs and damned if most people could disprove it.

Dammit leo, it's toothfairianism, not toothfairyism. 
Bah, no matter. Next extremely painful root canal you'll get it.

So writting the name wrong is the biggest sin in toothfairianism?

How does APA know so much about the Tooth Fairy?

This is just a hunch, but I think he might BE the tooth fairy...

Fairies don't have to be girls. There should be both genders Otherwise, how else would they procreate?

[Solitary]

The original teachings of Buddha would be mine, but all the various schools have corrupted it with Christian, Islamic, and Judeo dogma. All the rest are irrational beliefs based on no empirical evidence or sound reasoning but faith. Solitary

[sdelsolray]

None of the above.

[Feral Atheist]

None of the above!

[Moralnihilist]

Id worship Dionysus.

That fucker can party.

[StupidWiz]

[Atheon]

Unitarian Universalism.

I'm not an Atheist, but I'll answer the question anyway.

Religion itself is not a good thing because it is a kind of belief trap most of the time. Everything outside of your particular religion's beliefs become automatically unacceptable, which of course is a hinderance towards growth and increasing knowledge.

I chose Hinduism. Not because the "religion" is that great, there are obviously alot of crazy things that are believed and done within the Hindu "religion," but because of all the Spiritual Texts, Hinduism has some of the best by far. The Bhagavad Gita is an ever loving masterpiece for instance, and about three thousand years older than the New Testament. Also the Upinashads are amazingly good, and the songs of the Vedas as well.

The teachings of Buddha are great, but the religion of Buddhism is not so much. Just as the teachings of Christ are comparably great, but the religion of Christianity is not so much.

I guess what I'm getting at is that the religions themselves are the problem because of the ignorance and dogmatism of the masses that follow them, not necessarily the the core teachings themselves.

Isn't Buddhism not a religion, on a technicality

True, but people can be religious and dogmatic and ritualistic and traditionalist about anything.

[Contemporary Protestant]

By that definition everything has the potential to be a religion
