Favourite Religions and Why

I was just curious what religions you guys follow and why.
So what is your favourite religion and why?

I'm an ecclectic agnostic so if it makes sense I'll believe it, or just incorporate into what I believe.
My favourite religion is buddhism, mahayana school is fantastic, it allows you freedom of deity worship while offering practical (and some scientifically proven) principles that allow you to lead a healthier life. I also like rinzai school zen buddhism but more so the offshoot bushido, the active meditation really rings true to me, and offers the same great stuff as mahayana, and who doesnt love koans.

buddhism is not a religion. It's spirituality. Big difference their.

arguable. I agree it is more of a way of life, but it is still viewed as one the great religions of the world. Any theology/religions text book will talk about buddhism.

I don't have a favorite religion nor do I follow one.

so your atheistic, why is that, I should have mentioned for all intensive purposes atheism is a religion for this thread (although it is clearly oxymoronic)

In that case is spirituality? If so I'd say that's mine.

So this is how you scene atheist liberals are justifying the fact that in addition to watching atheist movies you also watch buddhist movies about "enlightenment".

Guess what, it's a religion!

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or really serious about that statement.

I like Gnostics. They are so paranoid about Christianity. Yet they add so much mysticism to it that they make their version of pseudo-Christianity even less plausible. I also like the specifc parts of Judaism that were Greek in nature, introduced during the Babylonian captivity. A crapload of mysticism there.

Pantheism.
It's cool with science but at the same time realises this doesn't have to be cynical in nature. You can practice being content from nature just like from god.
