What Religion is the Best Religion?

HOW WE SCORED

We tested eight beliefs Catholicism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, along with Atheism, Hinduism, and Satanism to determine which one is best for you. We used four major test criteria:

Ritualistic
We determined how much ritualism goes into religion. The less rituals that are involved the less burden it is on a person and the less work that had to be performed.

Sin threshold
This determines how much you can get away with before it is considered a sin. The greater the sin threshold the more leeway you have, and the more free you are to do as you please without repenting.

Penalty for sin
This is the price that you are forced to pay for your sins. The higher the penalty for sin, the more burdensome the repentance process is.

Ease of getting in heaven
This is how much work you are responsible for performing before you are allowed to reach nirvana. With most of the religions this was a hazy area. Majority of the information we were able to gather came from scriptures as well as extensive interviewing of theologians. 

How We Tested
Since most people have some sort of religious predisposition, in order for our investigation to be unbiased we had to use impartial participants. For our independent test, we brought in 37 aborigines from the Brazilian rain forest tribe of Raoni. With a crude understanding of god and the universe, we explained each religion to them and asked them to try it out for a 4 week period. All the participants had a chance to try out all eight religions for a 4 week time frame and rank them based on their findings.
