Okay to be more specific now I'm just plain curious. I know none of you probably believe in any religion, but lets turn the table and ask it like this.

If you had NO choice what so ever, what would the most likely religion/teachings would you follow?

Juddhism? Buddhism? Christian? Muslim? I know theres a ton more.... just giving some examples.

to answer the question in a way that pertains to the idea, if I had to choose something other than Christianity I might have chosen Buddhism. It has some very good teachings.

regardless if its been done before i hadn't seen it...id follow buddism as well. Buddah was pretty smart.


(and its not following a god, he was just the voice of the teaching, it was sacrliage to see him as a god..)

Most likely, it would have to be Buddhism. The focus is on improving yourself as a person, and that's something I think I could really get behind. It would be either that, or devotion to the ancient Greek pantheon, just because I know a lot about it already, and everything about it is awesome as hell.

Shinto-Buddhism definitely. (Shinto rocks my socks!)

I would choose Buddhism for sure.
First, there isn't any entity you adore and worship. Buddha was a man once lived and left lots of valuable teachings and isn't taken by no means as a god.
Second, I value a lot Buddha's teachings, because they're about self-improvement and how to live in peace with the nature and the whole world.

Honestly, the one thing I don't agree with in Buddhism is reincarnation and also karma.

Haha, not shockingly, my response is Buddhism as well.
It just seems to make the most sense out of all the religions.

True they just burn themselves to death(A reference to South Vietnam when Buddhists were burning themselves to death because of Catholic oppression).

I would also choose Buddhism though.
