Catholicism. I don't understand how they can submit themselves to a human organization as a medium between themselves and god instead of just trying to have a direct relationship with god themselves. The majority of things that make a Catholic a Catholic instead of just a regular Christian have absolutely nothing to do with the Bible. Popes, celibate priests, and worshipping Mary? Where is any of this in the Bible?
 
Any religion they weren't born into.
 
Definitely the catholics

Any of the religions that feature an invisible friend in the sky. That would rule out all the Abrahamic religions including Judaism, Islam and Christianity. As a Unitarian- Universalist I try to be tolerant of all religions especially when they offer something that appeals to the rational mind.
 
All of them, and many more, for there is no logical reason to believe in any religion. All are invented by men to control or exploit others, and people invariably justify their belief system through fallacious reasoning often merely to adopt a sense of superiority over others.

Furthermore, all ideologies are potentially dangerous, whether they be religious or political.

I did not "join", I was born a Catholic.
And that was a good thing.

That way I had a religion with lots of colour and music and flowers and saints and traditons.

Instead of sitting in boring empty bare churches - condemnd to hear boring sermons for hours and hours ...

In my opinion....the catholic mass is incredibly boring. But they do build nice churches
 
The belief of atheism is the sillies, imo

So the only two options are:

1) catholic church

2) some other "boring" church

Just those two?

Learning about God is not boring...

That is a correct statement. :)

Not necessarily...I was not born into being a Jehovah's Witness...it was a choice I made eagerly and willingly...

You weren't born into a Christian religion that followed the bible?

And aren't JW's Christians who follow the bible?

It calls itself a Christian religion but it did not follow the Bible...it taught false doctrines and participated in pagan rituals...
 
Any fundamentalist theistic religion who believes that it is literally true and not a parable to be taught as an ideal.
The Mormon and JVs are equal to Scientology in their bizarre beliefs.

At least they didn't write their own Bible...
