Lets rank the religions

If the mods move this to the politics thread, then they are admitting they believe religion and politics should be interconnected.
(I personally believe religion should be kept separate from politics and it's why I didn't put it in there)

Anyway, lets add a twist where you can't list your own religion. Atheism counts as a religion btw.
Who wants to go first?

(I should clarify we're ranking the beliefs of the religion, not the stereotypical ethnicities that westerners link with said religions)

The question is, what if one believes in multiple religions? Can one still not rank all of 'em? :D

Are we including scientology as a religion, or is it just a cult of quasi criminal ignoramuses who should be locked in a disused mine shaft for their own protection?

I tried a few years ago but it ended up devolving into atheists arguing atheism wasn't a religion and it got sidetracked from the intended point.
Now it doesn't matter with the new rule because atheists don't need to rate their lack of belief alongside active belief.

What does that even mean? "I give Baptists a seven, it's got a steady beat and you can dance to it... Although Baptists aren't allowed to dance, so nvm..."

Yes, claiming atheism is a religion it is a cute rhetorical trick to suggest equivalency between Christianity (mostly) and atheism.

Yeah, so the first actual ranking that occurs is going to break the rule about degrading groups. Locked.
