Buddhism in the sense of the actual forsaken nirvana and reincarnation aspects, but the dedication to enlightenment and what I perceive (as someone not in anyway well versed in the totality of it) as a willingness to guide and teach but not seeking to compelle others to abide by it are refreshing in the modern ‘my way or fuck you’ world.
In a way, Buddists don’t want to come back either. Reaching the goal of enlightenment means that reincarnation ends for you.
Lately it’s been Islam, because of the clean living aspect. Like they consider alcohol, cigarettes, pork, and anything bad for you a sin. And I do respect that about their religion, it’s a good value to have in your life.
Music and art are also considered a sin in Islam. So it’s not just anything that is bad for you but rather anything that might distract you from the path to Allah.
The claim that music and art are forbidden is trivially disprovable. Why even state it, or believe it?
I am sorry, but what? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ruxatH5tBgs https://islamqa.info/en/answers/72915
The “you will be judged by how you treat the least among you” and “when you do good works, do it in secret” parts of Christianity are cool.
I think Judaism is pretty interesting. No hell to speak of. Strong community focus. Traditions seem not-evil. Seems to foster a sense of curiosity and knowledge seeking. At least among those I know.
Mormonism, because it’s particularly absurd (and considering the competition, that’s saying a lot). It’s grotesquely fascinating. Joseph Smith was obviously full of it, but the con he called a religion succeeded anyway.
I try to respect all religions, but Mormonism takes extra effort on my part.
