Top 10 Best Religions
It's the most recent religion. That's why its teachings are more related to modern times without any superstitions, fasting, or idol worship. Sikhism promotes women's equality and rejects the belief that a certain God belongs to a certain people. It also refutes caste and prejudice. All humans are the same, and it's not what religions people follow, but more importantly, the way of life they live through truth and honesty, which has more value towards salvation.
Unfortunately, many cultural beliefs have become incorrectly intertwined within its true teachings. Otherwise, it could become a worldwide major religion. The principal belief is that there is no Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or Jew. All are under the same laws. All are God's people. All people are the same. It's their outward appearances that make them different. Universal brotherhood: 'God is the God of no religion.'
Thank you for the everlasting life, Allah. You have given us so much. We praise you and adore you for all the good and gracious things you have done for us. Oh Allah, give blessings to our true Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).
Allah, I don't know how to thank you. You are too perfect. Some Muslims may have let you down, and some may have been good. Oh Allah, please forgive everyone and help the poor and the people around me. You are the Creator, the Sustainer, and the One who has power over all.
We believe that if someone hits you, you should stay calm and be good to them. We don't care if we get hurt. We only care that our Lord, the High Master (Allah), is happy. And to make Him happy, we have to stay calm, relax, and pray to Him at regular times.
So, please, whether you are a Muslim or a non-Muslim, try to understand and consider joining our religion. If you don't want to, you don't have to. Allah has given us all the knowledge to choose our options. So, choose carefully which religion you think is right. I am not forcing you to choose. I just want to inform you. Don't get me wrong, because I don't think there is anything wrong with my religion, Islam. I just want you to know that Islam means peace, and that's what the world needs - peace. Thank you.
A lot of religions preach and present themselves as better than the rest, but in practice, they still dwell in ancient practices and have not evolved. Most of them do not even acknowledge their dark ages and are ignorant of how globalization has made the world one big family. Practicing Christians are open about their past and have moved on. The church has made amendments and has progressed, unlike most religions, where they still stick to medieval or pre-medieval mindsets.
Christianity is based on a few simple principles, and unlike most religions, it does not impose restrictions that make its followers fanatical. It is the message of love and compassion. I vote for Christianity, as I believe in the message and way of life. Following closely to Christianity would be Buddhism and Hinduism.
Hinduism is the only religion where we can't trace the root of its origin or when it began because it is so deep and ancient. It is considered the first civilized and cultured religion in the world. Other religions came later, detected us, looted our valuable books of knowledge, gold, and destroyed our scientifically built monuments.
If you ask me what is in Hinduism, I would respond by saying that what other religions lack is found in Hinduism. Hinduism was the first religion to explain the true meaning of GOD. GOD is an abbreviation for GENERATOR, ORGANIZER, and DESTROYER. In Hinduism, this concept was already known through Lord Brahma as the Generator, Lord Vishnu as the Organizer, and Lord Shiva as the Destroyer. We may call these concepts by other names now, but this same idea existed in Hinduism long before the world began learning English.
Even Sanskrit is considered the most suitable language for computer software, according to a report in Forbes magazine in July 1987. Additionally, Ayurveda is the first known school of medicine, and Sushruta, known as the Father of Surgery, performed the first surgeries. Paracetamol still runs with the help of Indian medicinal plants, which are based on Hindu knowledge. After the invasion of India, the world benefited from many of its inventions, showcasing the true worth of Hinduism. It wouldn't be wrong to call Hinduism a religion beyond science.
You may ask why we haven't invaded other countries in the last 10,000 years. The answer is simple: we had everything - peace, health, wealth, and all that a human needs to live happily within himself. There was no need for us to become looters. If other religions had everything, then why did they loot us? We would have been superhumans if we had not been attacked by others. As peace lovers, we even find it painful to attack a real enemy.
Actually, Buddhism is not a religion. It's actually a vision. It tells us the great truth that rules the whole universe, the concept of cause and its result. There is no other vision that gives such a beautiful idea. No god takes part, no actual influence to follow this vision. It's free to everyone, and you can feel it if you like.
If you go by what the Buddha found, surely you can understand what is the actual truth inside our lives. It's more scientific and even deeper. But other religions are more populated today just because of their rules and fears. In Buddhism, we don't have them. This vision is for intelligent people to think. Buddha gave freedom to Buddhists with peace and harmony for everyone, ensuring the right of perfect living for every human and animal.
Jainism is a religion of non-violence. It promotes peace in the world. But more importantly, it promotes peace within the self. It's the path that emphasizes the search for truth. It's logical and asks us to be logical. Nothing should be believed blindly.
It's about self-discipline and training. A path to achieve true happiness, which cannot be found in this material world.
It itself says that no religion should be tagged as the 'best'. And that a person needn't follow a religion to be a good person.
This is the oldest living religion. It's a spiritual path. No god is there who created us, and we ourselves are responsible for better or worse.
The happiest religion because its fundamental principle is to love thy neighbor as thyself, regardless of his religion. One need not be Jewish to go to heaven. Just obey seven universal laws, like not killing, not stealing, not being cruel to animals, etc.
Its adherents have gone on to the most amazing accomplishments: a huge percentage of Nobel prizes, violin virtuosos, chess champions, billionaires, philanthropists. We love each and every human being with all our heart. We thank God for His goodness and that He grants us health, family, and prosperity. Saying thank you is our most important value, whether to humans or to God. Our second most important value is to constantly study and learn more. We are forbidden to say a bad word about anybody, even if true, unless for a valid purpose like when seeking info about a business partnership or a match for marriage.
Catholicism mostly deals with the belief that there is one eternal, everlasting, and loving God who rules over all of space and time and created everything in the physical and spiritual world. It also teaches that humanity is the child of God and that God Himself sent His second form, the Son, to die to relieve humans of eternal damnation. It focuses on various virtues one is to possess to please God and teaches that there is life after death in the form of heaven, hell, limbo, and purgatory.
Saints, prophets, gurus, masihas (whatever name people associate with them), whenever they come into this world via miracles or normal ways like us, they come in a form like us. They come from the higher levels with a message from the Almighty to come back home from this creation.
People full of ego compare their teachings with the religion they were born and brought up in and start being enemies and torturing them. Time passes, and other people make it another religion. Actually, no religion is made without a living master. Fortunate are those who learn to love a living form of God. Unfortunates will never believe that the Creator can come in human form. Think! This is the only form that can teach us humans. Spirituality is the only true way to travel inward back to home, leaving behind color, caste, and religion.
Jediism is a modern-day religion of modern-day principles. It respects human life and equality and allows its followers to go down their own path. It preaches calmness, patience, being mindful of your emotions, and doing good for those around you, amongst many other great things!
Organized religion is just a way for man to explain what is beyond his understanding. Jediism fulfills that need without the false pretense of being believable. My vote goes here.
There is no emotion. There is peace.
There is no ignorance. There is knowledge.
There is no passion. There is serenity.
There is no chaos. There is harmony.
There is no death. There is the Force.
The Newcomers
A philosopher once described Chinese folk religion as a Portuguese man-of-war: it is a diverse combination of multiple Chinese religions such as Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
Some people think Buddhism is bad. For example, Christian groups in Thailand are trying to punish Theravada Buddhism. We are not trying to punish people. We are trying to bring this religion back.
We might lose this religion, but we need it. To bring it back, we are not going to fight. We are going to show people that we are good. Our two goals are bringing this religion back and stopping the cycle of rebirth.
We really need this religion. People need peace, but right now, people are creating more wars. We should join together to make this world better and more peaceful.
I have been searching for the path of happiness which can give me happiness forever without ending within a short time or without depending on any mortal thing. I got to know that the path is only to chant the holy name of God as- Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare.
The continuous chanting gives the ultimate bliss, happiness, and extreme satisfaction to the devotee. The art of chanting can be learned under the short guidance of Hare Krishna devotees. The founder of ISKCON has written many books on Krishna Consciousness, and the science of self-realization is explained, which is as per ancient Indian literature. Hare Krishna. Arun Sharma, Gurgaon, India.
I follow this religion. It gives me a relaxing feeling when I think about Shiv and his help to everyone who is doing good.
He also helps those who are bad in order to maintain balance in the world and sustain the life cycle.
When you meditate just to follow Shiv (the oldest god on Earth - no birth known, no family to belong to, etc.), it brings a profound sense of peace. Even Muslims follow a concept similar to Shiv (Nirakar - without size or face). They worship the Moon, which is also a symbol of Shiv, as it rests on his forehead.
I suggest everyone learn about Shiv, think about Shiv, and follow something like Shiv. You will feel amazing changes in your life and find peace in your mind.
Scientology is a religion that offers a path that leads to an understanding of one's true spiritual nature and one's relationship to self, family, groups, mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe, and the Supreme Being. The word Scientology means knowing how to know. So it is a practical way to knowledge and understanding of self and others.
To me, this means relief from the conflicts and problems of day-to-day life interacting with the world around us. And a real understanding of the age-old questions: Who am I? What is my nature? Am I a spiritual being or just an animal by nature?
Daoism is a belief in finding oneself. You achieve understanding of yourself and the connection of the world around you. Finding the obvious path in life and allowing your mind to remain calm and peaceful.
Not only this, but discovering the balance of the world as well. By understanding balance in the world, you understand that there is a little good and bad in everything. The ideas of beauty have a little ugliness in them, just as the idea of ugliness has some beauty to it. Daoism does not judge, and in not judging, we can find peace and balance not only in the world but in ourselves.
Wiccans do not believe in Satan. We believe in God (in a way), but also a Goddess. We connect with nature. We put out love. We believe in karma. We believe in spells, but only for good.
Using spells (basically prayers and offerings, in comparison) for evil is not good at all, and we forbid it. The pentacle/pentagram has five points on the star - the top point represents the creator(s) and the bottom four represent the four basic elements. Satanists put the top point at the bottom, representing that the elements are stronger than the creator. We put the top point on top because the creator(s) are stronger than the elements.
Hope this cleared up some common misconceptions about Wicca.
Sikhism is the best religion in the world. Let me explain why:
1. Men and women are treated equally in Sikhism, unlike in Islam, where the life of a woman is often considered a curse.
2. In Sikhism, all women are free to wear what they choose, pray alongside men on the same platform, pursue education, work like men, and perform all religious rites.
3. We believe in one God, and in Sikhism, a man can have only one wife, and a woman can have only one husband, unlike Islam.
4. Men in Sikhism are not allowed to force or beat women, whereas in Islam, a man can force and beat his wife.
5. Sikhism teaches respect for all religions, nature, animals, and women, while Islam teaches killing non-Muslims.
6. In Sikhism, everyone is allowed in any Gurudwara without questions about caste or creed. Non-Muslims are not allowed in mosques or Mecca in Islam, as non-Muslims are called kafirs and are taught to be killed according to the Quran.
7. In any Gurudwara, you can participate in langar where people of all religions sit together on the same platform, unlike other religions.
8. Sikhs are known to be true fighters - bold, humorous, and proud citizens of any country they reside in. We serve our countries in the best possible way.
This path of Hinduism instructs us to worship by looking after Balkrishna as our own child. The relationship between a mother and a child is the purest, without any selfish motive. We simply enjoy looking after our own child without any expectations. The idea is to dedicate our life to Him just because we love Him, not for fulfilling our wishes in return for our prayers.
Dedication, trust, and love for Him are the most important emotions to develop a positive attitude in our life. Moreover, a Vaishnava who feels happy by caring for Him will be so intrigued that he/she will achieve a state of satisfaction. Will there be any space for unhappiness? Nah. Happiness is contagious, and most Vaishnavas achieve this state.
I like Zoroastrianism because Zarathustra never claimed that he is a prophet and his words are from God, unlike other prophets. He sought God through his wisdom. In Zoroastrianism, men and women are equal, and each person is free to choose his or her path based on his or her wisdom and righteousness. Zarathustra: (good thoughts, good deeds, good words)
This is one of the oldest religions. The Zoroastrian traders and astrologers found the brightest star where Jesus was. I believe Zoroastrianism to be on top.
Confucianism is like a cross between philosophy and religion. The philosophical aspects are about focusing on the world and the here and now, rather than otherworldly things that are outside of our awareness, let alone our reach. The secular is the sacred. It is where our focus should be, and it is here that we seek to live a life of virtue towards ourselves and others.
Yet, it has religious aspects such as holy days. It can accommodate different views of divinity, from theist to pantheist or atheist, as historical Confucians with these different views have existed.
Another name for Christianity... Rasta believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit... They also believe that Haile Selassie is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ... They call God's name Jah... In the New World Translation, you can see Jah in many areas... Check the index... They also believe in growing hair and locking it as a Nazarite vow.
I am a Reconstructionist Jew, and I'll vote for this one just because there aren't really any problems with it. It's associated with peace and love.
For when all the other religions become too much and you just want to peace out for a while.
Very cool, pretty chill, has some cool lore, and torii gates go hard. It's pretty different from other religions in how there isn't a strict doctrine to stick by like Christianity and Islam. Although, it's practically region-locked to Japan.
A faith based on nature and life, and unlike Christianity, isn't strict. It doesn't focus as much on your afterlife and offers other amazing stuff! Too bad this religion is pretty much nonexistent outside of Japan...
The religion guides us to peace and forbids the eating of cats and dogs. It guides us to positivity.
Jain religion totally emphasizes live and let live for all creatures on Earth.
It is Jainism that believes in live and let live. One can learn the best values and principles from Jainism.
God has created this universe, and humans are the brainy creatures God has created. It's so amazing that people divided God according to their comfort and are fighting for its different names. They do not want to understand teachings in holy books, which say that God is one and we are all children of one. Instead, they are fighting here over which religion got the maximum number of votes. It's a shameful thing. Grow up and do some efforts for mankind. Only then can you make your God happy.
I totally agree with this. It's humans who divided Gods as they required. I believe we are humans and should also have a religion called Humanity. Live and Let Live.
As a Jehovah's Witness, I previously shared many sentiments that are listed here regarding the support of the Almighty for the religion. Unfortunately, my family experienced atrocious stalking, illegal eavesdropping, identity theft, breaking and entering, lying, and deceit by Jehovah's Witness leaders and congregants. All of those activities are shunned in the Bible. Thus, as Jesus stated, "by their fruits, you will recognize these men."
What is truly practiced by a religion is what determines its acceptance to the Almighty, not a surface-level, superficial appearance of righteousness. I am not disfellowshipped, but I am again searching for true religion, if one exists at all.
There is no other church so true in all the world. First of all, this is the only religion in the world that is organized in the same way as Christ organized His church. We believe that there was a great apostasy, but through Joseph Smith, this same Church of Jesus Christ was brought back to the earth.
Though we have a prophet, he is not just a prophet to members of this church, but he is the prophet to the whole world. The prophet is chosen by God (called by God) to lead the children of Heavenly Father (every human being). Jesus Christ is the head of our church, with the prophet being directly under Him. We believe in missionary work and bringing all God's lambs back to His fold. We are taught to give selfless service and help all those in need, even our "enemies."
There are so many gospel truths that I cannot list them all. If anyone desires to learn more about this true church, please consult our missionaries or the official Church website, lds.org. It is amazing how many people deliberately attack the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You can be sure that any other sources you find on the internet are incredibly false and are made to attack us.
