Being raised in an restrictive adventist environment, where everything was about getting rewards in the "afterlife", I found Buddhism really interesting since a big part of this religion is about being mentally/ physically healthy and leading a peaceful life.

best is probably Buddhist. As for worst, i don't need impressions. I've lived through Sharia law to know that it's Islam.

Omg. fD4JAZe.png What happened specifically, if I may ask?

 

Best is Buddhism. I'd love to just experience the life of a Buddhist monk in a monastery for a full day, if it wouldn't be disrespectful. The Dalai Lama is just near-perfect.

Best probably Buddhist.

I generelly also prefer religions with multiple gods over monotheistic religions, because they rarely claim to be the one, true religion and see other religions as mostly just different interpretations of the same gods they have or just more gods, that also exist additionally to theirs (not really a very recent example, but when the Greeks and the Egyptians started to interact they even ended up creating hybrid gods like Hermanubis, that were a mix of both their gods). Also, they generally have the cooler lore imo, because their gods aren't really almighty, but rather just more powerful beings with their own flaws.

Any religion that people go to war over sucks imo.

in my country, there are states where hijabs are mandatory and you get punished if you don't perform prayers. Religious police regularly raid couples to punish them for adultery. LGBTQs get flogged. Atheists gets death punishment if they refuse to embrace Islam again. Etc.

I don't have a good impression of any religion, they all left deep scars in society. Voted for buddhism because: a) had to vote b) best option  (No offense, though, be free to have your beliefs. Just be mindful of them)

 

The cake of Worst Impression goes to Islam. All the three main ahbrahamic religions deserve an award in this category, tbh. Catholicism/Christianism (people say it's different, but c'mon) and Judaism have underwent reforms, one being the reform of the other - and so on, but you don't get rid of thousands of years in a couple of centuries or decades. 

 

Here where I'm from protestants are quite a problem, so I have a really bad impression of their churches, they're all cultish.

 

 

I'm agnostic tho, not atheist.

I have the best impression of Jainism and Zen Buddhism.

I like Jainism because it’s a religion that truly preaches peace and doesn’t just say that it’s peaceful. They don’t have gods who are inherently violent and hypocritical like the one in the Old Testament. If I ever considered being religious, I’d be a Jain.

I like Buddhism because it is actually quite atheistic. Buddha never preached himself to be a god, merely someone who was enlightened and wanted to impart his knowledge.

These people believe in living right not because of fear of hell or some big heavenly reward but simply because it’s right. That’s something I can respect

 

I have the worst view of the abrahamic religions particularly Christianity and Islam. I can be very antagonistic towards evangelical Christianity because of their church leaders are doing in west Africa. The corruption, the greed, the lack of accountability, these people are actual con artists with their fake miracles and lies
