No matter how hard the non-believers work hard to debunk religion, no matter what... religion always prevails.
Religion appeared before science and while science is always in trial and error, changing its principles, changing its doctrines, changing and changing and never fully understanding the universe... on the other hand, religion always adds new information without changing any of its doctrines.
Religion is the sure winner, because is inspired, is taught and given by a higher source of knowledge.
Science is just human efforts, destined to failure as soon as a newer discovery becomes the new fade, and the trend continues generation after generation.
Religion foresees while science invents, religion gives hope while science only reaches comfort.
At the end of the day, religion will be the sure winner.
Luchito.... do you think that near death experiences both by the religious as well as by Atheists may be setting up a time period in which the religious and the irreligious find more common ground that we can agree on?
Some of these brushes with death produce an attitude that indicates that religious differences are something of a psychological test that all of us need to learn to pass????????

9. What Is the Best Religion?
I asked God: "What is the best religion on the planet? Which one is right?" And Godhead said, with great love: "I don’t care." That was incredible grace.![]()
They come and they go, they change. Buddhism has not been here forever, Catholicism has not been here forever, and they are all about to become more enlightened. More light is coming into all systems now. There is going to be a reformation in spirituality that is going to be just as dramatic as the Protestant Reformation. There will be lots of people fighting about it, one religion against the next, believing that only they are right.
Everyone thinks they own God, the religions and philosophies, especially the religions, because they form big organizations around their philosophy. When Godhead said, "I don't care," I immediately understood that it is for us to care about. It is important, because we are the caring beings. It matters to us and that is where it is important. What you have is the energy equation in spirituality. Ultimate Godhead does not care if you are Protestant, Buddhist, or whatever. It is all a blooming facet of the whole. I wish that all religions would realize it and let each other be. It is not the end of each religion, but we are talking about the same God. Live and let live. Each has a different view. And it all adds up to the Big Picture; it is all important.
Former Atheist Howard Storm asked a similar question... and got back a similar answer......

I asked them, for example, which was the best religion. I was looking for an answer which was like, "Presbyterians." I figured these guys were all Christians. The answer I got was, "The best religion is the religion that brings you closest to God."
Asking them if there was life on other planets, their surprising answer was that the universe was full of life.
