Which Religion Is Better And Why?

How One Religion Became Two
The Encyclopedia of Religion says that almost all known religions have certain beliefs that, while differing in detail, are surprisingly similar. For example, they believe that mankind fell from an original position of divine favor, that death is unnatural, and that sacrifice is necessary to regain divine favor. This is strong circumstantial evidence indicating that all of today’s religions had a common origin.
The Bible explains how this came about. It tells us that the first man and woman rejected God’s direction and turned to another source for guidance and counsel. Although evidently not aware of Satan and his rebellion against God, they took an independent course and followed the counsel of a creature, represented by the serpent, rather than the Creator. The Bible later revealed that Satan was the true voice behind the misleading serpent.—Genesis 2:16–3:24; Revelation 12:9.
Thus man moved out from under theocratic rule and established his own standards as to good and evil. By their independent actions, Adam and Eve set mankind on a course that would result in many different religions, all of them constituting false worship in contrast with the true worship practiced by Jehovah’s faithful witnesses down through history. Directly or indirectly, the beneficiary of that false worship has been the great Adversary, Satan. Thus, the apostle Paul was able to write: “The things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers with the demons.” He went on to show that there are only two forms of worship, saying: “You cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; you cannot be partaking of ‘the table of Jehovah’ and the table of demons.”—1 Corinthians 10:20, 21.

For ME(notice that I'm saying for me)is Christianity.Why?Because it's it's teaching to love everyone.That's the main learning of Christianity.But it seems that most don't fallow it.Jesus said that we should love and respect each other.And also this religion will accept no metter what is your skin colour or gender.Like most religion that won't accept you if you're not from their race,like Islam.That's why I think Christianity is right religion.

The only religion God made is Humanity. So I'm follower of humanity as I am sure He (God) made it, rest can be outdated or maybe conspiracies of kings of that time to easily enslave and manipulate masses.

All religions that help people learn how to love one another, and which respect the free will of all human beings, are helpful.
Any religions, dogmas, traditions, rituals, etc. that impose on the free will of others, or that promote bigotry, judgment, pride, etc. are not helping people grow in love and are therefore only the prattling of human egos, and not the teachings of God/the spiritual realm.
One doesn't actually need to follow a particular religion in order to grow spiritually, to learn how to love unconditionally.
God is love. Love comes to people of all languages, all cultures, all religions, or no religions, and all time periods.
1 John 4:8
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
When we act with love toward one another, and toward the other creatures on this planet, we act with God's loving spirit in our souls -- no matter what we call ourselves. Labels are man made and are totally irrelevant in the spiritual realm.
On the other hand, no matter what we call ourselves, if we act without love toward one another, if we judge, condemn, spread hatred, bigotry, ignorance, and are greedy, selfish, etc. then we have no love in our hearts, and are listening only to the sound of our own egos.
Jesus Christ said: "I am the way and the truth and the life" and that WAY is to LOVE.
That “way” is not to thump Bibles.
John 13:34: "Love one another as I have loved you."

Christianity (not an religion, organization, denomination, etc.).
WHY?: It is the ONLY WAY that provides the ONLY remedy for man's separation from God because of sin.
