Top 10 Religions With the Stupidest Dogma

Which religion do you think deserves to be the one with the stupidest, most pointless and insane dogma. By dogma, I mean superstitions, beliefs, practices, teachings etc...
The Top Ten
1 Islam

It creates a lot of religious extremists...its also very sexist and backwards..Mohammad married a 9 year old and didn't know how to read. WTF

If Allah or any other God is omnipotent, then why would he or she bother to make unbelievers? And if Allah will ultimately punish unbelievers, why do so many religious folks seek to provide punishment on God's behalf?

I worry about the lack of critical thought from many religious people. Non religious too for that matter. It seems to me that no one knows "all truth".

In the end, people will choose to believe what favours themselves.

It does seem odd to me that Allah would choose one person to relay his message. Plenty of room for communication errors. And quite unfair to the rest of humanity. The poor Aborigines and Zulus didn't have a chance to get Allah's message for over 1,000 years. Quite inefficient for an omnipotent being.

Islam seems insecure to me. It is a religion that should invite criticism and reflection. Instead, it is quick to condemn those who question it. And choosing to leave Islam can have harsh consequences.

And as a non Muslim, ...more

As an ex-Muslim, I believe that all religions have some stupid dogmas, and they are not compatible with the modern science and the modern life. In my opinion Islam is a totalitarian religion (just like a totalitarian regime), Islamic clerics brainwash Muslims from young ages, I admit they are the best at it, and they have a much more ideologically organized community in comparison with Christianity and Hinduism. However, I believe unlike most believers, that Islam uses immoral tactics, such as Jihad, force conversion, brainwashing, white lie, polygamy, execution, torture, amputation, abuse toward women and the minorities, and etc. One of the doctrine of Islam is to "taking over the world", which I found it horrific. As a child, I heard that statement, that "inshaallah, soon Islam will take over the world", I find it against the humanity, because all cultures and beliefs have right to exists. I am critical of the doctrine of Sharia and the doctrine of the Islamic state, I think both ...more

Finding anything that makes sense in the Qu'ran is already an achievement in itself. But ignoring the never-ending calls to violence and totalitarianism and pretend it is a "religion of peace" requires outright intellectual dishonesty.

Take any reasonable position, on any subject, and you can be 99 percents sure that the Qu'ran will be against it.
No wonder Muslims have trouble integrating in any other culture : everything non-islamic is automatically considered "haram" or satanic. Great mindset!

Islam is continuously making Muslim's lives worst and worst.
How long will them bear this treatment? It is time for them to break their chains and put their extremists in front their contradictions.

2 Christianity

It's overrated, they colonized and spread this overrated religion around the world. (Samoa, Mexico, Korea, Philippines you name it) Proud atheist

Christianity is from scrolls anyway. King James Bible is a version, if Christian God exists I doubt the Bible could be that accurate to the scrolls. God created the world in seven days, Adam from dust or dirt, Eve from his rib. Why do artists give them bellybuttons? Who knows or cares what race Jesus was supposed to be. What is the fruit Adam and Eve ate. Why didn't God kill Satan instead of letting him shapeshift into a snake. Where is the Garden of Eden? Why didn't God let Adam and Eve know that it was wrong to eat the fruit and shouldn't he have known they would do it. How could someone survive in a whale, yes it was a whale not a sea creature that no one knows what it was like the fruit. Why did God have his son sacrificed to save people when God should've removed the curse. How can God be Jesus on earth? His son doesn't know the date of the rapture but God is supposed to be Jesus. How can everyone on earth see Jesus and Satan, horsemen?

I believe in Jesus and all that he said.
That there was actually such a person, there are many proofs for that. But he was the son of god, that is a little too much.
It's the message he told. That needs to be told, the beliefs of the people who lived back then.. the old testament, it is not meant to be taken literally. There is truth in that too but its cryptic, based of ancient schools of thought, and mostly concerning with astronomy that was known back then. Also the flood thing is kind of retold from Sumerian myth. It might not have been a myth, maybe the flood did happen, but I doubt that the story encompassed the whole world. It must have been that the story was told by someone who thought that the world was smaller.
Moreover, the holy wars, crusades... They should not have been in the name of the Christ. I agree that you must fight off an invasion on your turf, but in the name of god. Why?

Christians (Of today) are biggest enemy of world. They are so dumb... They find 10000s of controversies in their books, got many a human-written versions of their book "Bilbe", Bible is no more considerably read in its original language, no where finds JESUS (A. S) calling himself as god in old testament and finds old testament quite close to "Koran" but shut their eyes over all these facts. They don't even think that God who created "ADAM (A.S. ) without father and mother, there is no worry for him to create JESUS (A.S. ) without father and he knows all type of creations. Why God need to marry a human?

They do propaganda against MuslimS as they are terrorist! You the Christians are terrorist, look at AMERICA, ENGLAND and other Christian nations, what they are doing killing so many MuslimS in their own countries and when the MuslimS show reaction, they call them as terrorists... Please don't be biased think!

3 Scientology

Science is not religion. Don't go around posting negative comments on actual religions.
Muslims are not taught to do terrorism. I've heard many people tell me that. Terrorists corrupted by money and violence are like that. Mohammad was a man who taught what was right.
Christians don't oppose science at all, and I'm one. Jesus didn't teach anything against science. He was the Son of God and never wanted a religion, only that people do what's right. It was his followers later on and corrupt priests who taught you burn in Hell if you're not Christian or that science isn't real. I'm sure if Jesus was alive today he would support science.
Jews were given a strict set of laws that told of certain rituals and customs. Criticizing them is like me criticizing you for playing video games or eating bacon. You don't need them, but you want them anyway, and that's fine.
The Ancient Greeks were influenced by the Persians, Macedonians, Egyptians, Estruscans, Latins, and Mesopotamians. If ...more

According to scientology Xenu was the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who 75 million years ago brought billions of his people to Earth (then known as "Teegeeack") in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs. Official Scientology scriptures hold that the thetans (immortal spirits) of these aliens adhere to humans, causing spiritual harm.

Or maybe not.
ROFL

Good people have come from multiple religions. Gandhi was Hindu, Martin Luther King was Christian. However, the only person I might call decent, or influential, is the guy who wrote it, and he was also joking.

This is not a religion, it is a mindless cult of mad people who torture people and worship science. It's almost like a mockery of religion.

4 Hinduism Hinduism is an Indian religion or dharma, a religious and universal order to which Hindus abide. It is the world's third-largest religion, with over 1.2 billion followers, or 15–16% of the global population, known as Hindus. The word Hindu is an exonym, and while Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma, which refers to the idea that its origins lie beyond human history, as revealed in the Hindu.

Another, less fitting, endonym is Vaidika dharma, the 'dharma related to the Vedas.' ...read more.

I know I am voting against it, but I could not pass an opportunity to clear some misconceptions about Hinduism...
All I have to say, there is a reason for all the gods... And it has to do with a core belief that underlies all the culture and rituals that veils over the good aspect of polytheism. And most of the old senseless superstitions are fading away in most urban India. Plus you must take into account 600 years of Muslim invasions and rule and 120 years of British colonialism. That will have consequences on any community. The real Hinduism, it is not an -ism at all. Most Hindus are oblivious to our ancient philosophy now, and simply follow traditions and cultural rituals. The basic sanatan dharma, Vedanta, and yogic practices are an integral part of Hinduism and is usually goes unnoticed, by casual onlookers. The rabbit hole goes deeper than you would expect. And the German philosophers knew this, that's why they teach Sanskrit and the vedas in Germany.

Hinduism as I believe is the most stupid religion! It actually doesn't exist! Hindus are just a bunch of people who believe that there are more than 33k gods! (A JOKE). These are just stories of Ram and Krishna etc its not true, I mean seriously a blue god? Elephant headed god? Give me a break! When will people logically realise what they are doing?

Karma
Arranged marriage
Reincarnation
Cows are divine
If you eat a chicken (or any meat/animal), then in the Hindu hell it will come back to taunt and hurt you.
The caste system that segregates between: Priests, Warriors/Kings, Businessmen, Labor class (Forbids inter-caste marriage).

And just a reminder, why the practice of burning wives after a man's death came about. The Muslim invaders had it in their practice to kidnap and rape and take Hindu widows as they were unprotected. That is why the wives themselves chose to die with their husbands. This practice was abolished when India became independent and there was no threat from the Muslim brotherhood anymore. Also the reason for our huge population was because of the tactic of the Muslim brotherhood to over breed and capture a region by forcing out the infedels. We had to compete, if we did not want to be overrun and obilitrated by Islamic forces, like they did the Persians and the Jews, and are essentially doing Europe and South east Asia now.

5 Judaism

I'm not a fan of any religion, but Orthodox Jews believe in the stupidest things. There's one story where 4 billion people were supposedly killed and that's the best of these stories. They also believe in killing out all the men, women, and children of Amalek and in selling your daughter (but not your son) as slave- even though they don't practice this. They do blindly follow everything their rabbis say and learn their ridiculous number of laws all day long (at least the men. Women aren't supposed to be learned or take leadership positions).

I think all religions are stupid but having a jewish heritage. I think that only the orthodox jews believe in crap.

Only Orthodox and "Ultra-Orthodox". Progressive Judaism is very compatible with modern times.

You should cut part of your penis because God said so.

6 Mormonism

Its "quirky Christianity" reminds me of Jehovahs witnesses. Going to my door, spreading the "gospel" Poor nations don't need religion, they have religion, Poor nations need food, water, electricity, money, jobs

Can we please just respect people's religions? This website is corrupt, I can't stand it. The people here are so ignorant and biased and refuse to accept any opinion that isn't their own. If they don't believe something, anyone who does believe it is automatically wrong or invalid. it's honestly repulsive. It's not just with mormons, it's with every other religion too. It is not hard to be respectful. It is not hard to sit there and listen to someone explain something. It is not hard to accept an opinion other than your own. The people on this site make me sick to my stomach. Just because you aren't Muslim or Mormon or Christian or whatever, doesn't mean that the people that are are stupid or evil. Seriously, if you have nothing better to do than sit here and bully people to help your dying self esteem, get some help.

They think that Jesus lived in America and that Joseph Smith was a prophet... The whole religion is based on a lie..

It's just stupid

7 Shintoism

There is nothing wrong with nature worship or basic polytheism.

Monotheistic religions like Islam and Christianity and over developed polytheistic religions like Hinduism are the real problems. The above three religions are the scum of humanity and earth. Shintoism is a million times better than them.

Mother Nature is the bomb, from cats to combing and crushing fleas with comb and thumb nail.

8 Buddhism

Buddha copied Jainism & pasted it on a new page after deleting 'penances' & called it Buddhism. Because of laxity in fundamental principles, it is practised in various ways around the world. Many monks burned themselves to attain salvation!

Bhudha and Mahavir Jain are contempories. Then how would Bhudha has copied Jain's ideologies?. Bhudha approach to enlightment is very peaseful and natural ways. But Mahavir followed very aggressive ways. But both their ways are free from carrying out harmful things other lives on earth. In my openion Bhudha's teahings are going to engulf the whole world very soon.

Buddhism is peace ful religion in the world. Buddhism aroud the 84 countries. So future buddhism is aroud the world needs. So come with me.

All relegion teach how to maintain relation between you and god...

But

Only BUDHHIST relegion teach how to maintain relation beetween you and other peoples...

9 Jainism

They were masks so they don't hurt micro organisms.. But what about the water you drink? Or te earth you step on? Or how about the food you eat or the things you touch? This world is filled with micro organisms and there are more ways to kill them than to breathe in; which I'm sure every Jain is doing so unknowingly.

Jainism is best because its only one perfect religion about all aspects of life like geography, science, religion, medical, space science etc. Other religipns have 1 or 2 books as scripture. While jainism is spread in over 45 books. That's the real knowedge.

It's the religion who teach us Live and Let live. Its completely filled with Purity, Simplicity and all other moral values.

Don't harm any living things.
They wear masks from birth to not harm tiny microscopic living things.

10 Polytheistic Ancient Greek

This still exists? Jesus and God are a MUCH better substitute for this excuse for sin.

That you have to place a coin in the mouth of dead bodies. (So, they can pay the ferry to get into underworld)

Do people honestly still believe this stuff?

The Contenders
11 Satanism

Actually, a true Satanist believes in Satan, but it depends also on which type of Satanism you focus on. I prefer Spiritual Satanism the most.

You guys do know that most satanist don't worship satan in fact most of them don't believe he even exist. They just call themselves satanist because they see the satan of the bible as the ultimate expression of rebellion and free will so a satanist would probably agree with this list as most of them dislike religion and could be consdiered sorta atheistic. Satanism is kinda a religion of people worshiping themselves.

Just evil and a load of crap but all other religions are cool!

This religion is very impure. The satan is evil. Why would people worship him

12 Sikhism

This religion has not been gathering people and alluring people to join it, that's why it has less people following it but Sikhism respects all religions and has no nonsense which would bother anyone in his daily life. Sikhism religion is full of sacrifice made for other religion still people do not understand it properly.

I am Sikh. I think that all religion are equal and they have equal importance but I give litlle mire importance to Sikhism

Our 1 vote is equal to 1.25 lakh truth is truth Sikhism teachings is above all

We can save the world by turbans and beards..

13 Breatharians

Believing you can survive only by breathing. Saying you don't need food or water to live, only air. Many of them die. The ones that live are put into hospitals for starving themselves.

This is such a stupid religion my butt makes more sense than this.

What kind of religion is this?

14 Jehovah's Witnesses

Materialism in the guise of religion. Totalitarian control. Distortion of the Bible. Street zombies with a central brain in Brooklyn.

If you want to leave you will be shunned by everyone you know. Also have fun prosecuting an elder if he does things to you as a child.

Your birthday becomes insignificant. I got nothing more to say.

My family are ones and they don't believe in letting their children socialize with other children

15 Universal Church of the Kingdom of God
