This is going to go well===========

Yeah seriously, so are we all Islamophopes or antisemetic nazis?

Since I am descended from the mighty Woden (unless my ancestors were fibbing) I put olden Pagan first with everything else in a tie for 4th (or should I say... Thorth... Hey yo!)

My order:

T1.) Atheism
T1.) Agnosticism
T1.) Buddhism
T1.) Christianity
T1.) Hinduism
T1.) Judaism
T1.) Islam
T1.) Taoism
T1.) Paganism
T1.) NRMs
T1.) Other religious I didn't name

I guess I should put my order too. In order of what I'd most likely be

1. Confused Person
2. Christian
3. Taoist
4. Confucius
5. Pagan
6. Buddhist (could be 5)
7. Jewish
8. Pantheistic
9. Agnostic
10. Atheistic
11. Islam
12. Hindu (I don't know too much about this one to be fair)
13. Wiccan

What about Agents of Chaos who don't believe in order?

Does not compute. Atheism is not a religion.

some interpret it as a religion. either way it's a belief.

jmo1121109: Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle or Tzeentch?

Catholicism all the way because it is the only one and true Church, and there is no hope for salvation outside it so there is no point of ranking the others.

Definition of religion according to dictionary.com

1. A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

2. A specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects:

Atheism is close enough.

Wolfsbane, not even Eastern Orthodox or Protestant Christianity? RIP

By that religion, yes, Flum, it is, but one of the most common characteristics of a religion as people in general view it is a belief in a god or gods. If you're going to call atheism a religion, then a) keep capitalizing it, which I don't, and b) differentiate somehow from the general understanding of a "religion" and start calling any congregation of people that share a set of beliefs and values regarding their moral code a religion - Republicans, Democrats, Cubs fans, you name it.

By that definition*

Wolfsbane, having that kind of closedmindedness about the other ways of thinking in the world only makes you sound patriarchal and imperialistic. Different people have always, since long before Jesus Christ preached reformed Judaism and before the Catholic Church separated, had different sets of views and there is no reason to think that nobody outside of the last few thousand years have ever managed to achieve any sort of spiritual or literal salvation. Likewise, there is no reason to express that "there is no hope" for people who do not ascribe to your beliefs. According to your own beliefs and according to the Catholic Church, that is not up to you.

I'd say in order of religions I'd be interested in learning more about:
T1) Islam
T1) Satanism
2) Buddhism
3) Hinduism
4) Judaism
5) Wicca
6) Paganism
7) Christianity
8) Atheism
9) agnostic

And I mean actually learn. Like the history core beliefs and the various readings.

You might be underwhelmed with how boring satanism really is. They're basically just edgy atheists.

There are a few theistic satanists out there, but they're usually fringe.
Wicca are probably the closest you'll get to what satanism is usually thought as. (Even though both sides would probably deny to being the other)

Although Wicca stuff is weird and either not worth your time or a bad idea.

Oh God.

Sigh... and the experts say we cant clutter the forum with 2 mafia games..

Can we add the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Hellenism please?

I'd rank them all the same, but think these two deserve a mention.

There is only one true religion, Jedi religion. All others are just false prophets stories.

I can't believe you said Confusicism might not technically be a religion, and then went on to argue that atheims was...

Antitheism, now that is at least a belief system. Atheism is the absence of belief, there is nothing unifying atheists, except in a world where being outside the norm makes you form your own group. And even then, the only thing they have in common is opposing the norm/state religion that they grew up with...

T1) Chaos
T2) Atheism
T3) Pantheism
... Huge gap
T4) Cargo cults
T5) Buddhism
T6) Confucianism
T7) All sort of pagan beliefs, Światowid for the win!
T8) Abrahamic religions
T9) Agnostic

I have no sufficient knowledge to assign tiers to Taoism, Hindu or many, many other religions omitted in this list, but I suppose most of them would go somewhere between 6-8.

And as for atheism - I am an atheist and I do think it is a belief system - we have just as much knowledge about the universe as any well-informed Christian or Muslim or a follower of any other religion for that matter, and we just choose to *believe* that there is no higher power behind all of that.

I want to get in this so bad but I know that I don't know enough to make a real list.

I am impressed that the responses so far aren't dunking too hard on Christianity. I figured it was a shoe-in to get ranked way further down than it's getting. I say this as a sympathetic nonbeliever, so a little biased but not that much.

Uhh how is there no mention of scientology? That shits some wacko cult. Or the ppl who suicided to teleport to comet hale bopp. Heavens gate cult lol
