God may be the same . But religions are not same ,because , the believers considers their own religion the best and want it to dominate over others. The question would not have arisen had there not been any bloodshed , hatred and animosity in the religious line . I wonder which religion is the best ? To me that religion is the best which has the meagre number of followers , so small the number that they are bound not to practice the basic animal character of killing and dominating over others for own survival . What is your own opinion ? Is your religion the best ?

honestly, I think that no religion is the best religion. eRligion is nothing but anothr way for us to be controlled by someone who thinKs that they are better than us.

For me no religion is the best. It's all the same. They all worship God the almighty! It just depends on your preference! I myself did not chose my religion but am loving it because me and my family have the same religion

This is a very sensitive discussion. In my opinion no religion is the best. why? we are from different cultures with different ideology, beliefs, etc. the important is we only have the same and one GOD our savior. Christ or Yahweh or Alah,etc....

Hi akumei, You are right that many people think that their religion is not only the best but the only one that is right. It is very sad when people think that way and they have all strayed from the original meaning of the teachings. We are meant to live together as one and make this world a better place for everyone. The best religion is the one that follows the golden rule that is found in some form in all major religions of the world. In my opinion, religion should be concerned not with worshipping some deity but with seeking the fragment of God that can be found in each one of us. Blessings.

No religion is best. Different people are from different cultures and what brings them closer to thier own spirituality may not work for someone else. It is when this comes up and people argue that it's a problem? All spiritualities welcome! As ong as people do not think thye are right and the rest of the world is wrong..then all faiths and feelings that are spiritulal are great!

We all have the same God, it does not matter which religion we belong, as long as we do right things. The need to praise God, thank God, believe in God, pray to God is basically present to all religions.

There is no "best" religion. It's all about the individuals who practice the arious religions. If people can stay with the old belie that we should love eachother, then religion doesn't matter. Someone in every religion will try to dominate and tell the other that they are wrong. At that time it's not the religion's faul, ather the indiiduals.

Truth be told there is no "best" religion over any other...OR you could also say ALL OF THEM are "best" but no specific one is perfect for everyone....MY path is BEST FOR ME...your path is BEST FOR YOU...and so on...

I am tempted to think of John Lennon's song "Imagine". Could you imagine a world without religion?

No religion or denomination is best, because there are just too many of them, which causes too much confusion and competition among churches. And some religious beliefs create bondage, a lack of freedom, and too much strictness. How can anyone serve God that way? I refuse to be bound by any religious or denominational belief that will not allow me to serve my heavenly Father in the freedom in which I appreciate. In my opinion, there is only one God and I simply serve Him sincerely from my heart in my ordinary day to day life: Being genuinely kind, helpful, encouraging, supportive, loving, forgiving and considerate of others. So many claim to be "saved" under certain religious doctrine, but are the meanest, unforgiving, non-caring, fake, hypocritical, unloving, selfish, non-supportive people. God help them before it's too late.

No religion could claim they are the best. And who cares about what's the best religion? In the first place salvation is though Christ and not through religion. For as long as a religious denomination believes both the Old and New Testaments, to be the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God, and therefore the altogether sufficient and authoritative rule of faith and practice. And believes as well in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the second Person of the Triune God, the eternal Word and only begotten Son; believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third Person of the Triune God, and the divine Agent in nature, revelation, and redemption; that salvation is the free gift of God to man, neither merited nor secured in part or in whole by any virtue or work of man, but received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. THEN, I consider them right and good. And such is the kind of church I belong but to say that my church is the best is not for me to say. Only God could judge.

There's no such thing as a best religion. Since every people have their own culture which they have grown up to leading to different beliefs and practices.
