The pagan religions of Europe painted a much brighter picture than the Anrahamic religions and their gods were far more benevolent than the sadistic god of the Bible and Quran.
Norse Paganism might just be the coolest. It would be good just going to a magic castle to drink and party with hot chicks all day.

Islam pretty much fits the definition of worst ever religion, and the one I think it would be worst if it was true.
Only Christianity has a worse record for the actions of his believers, but even at least the NT has some positive morals suggested by it which are completely lacking in the Quran.
And the Bible never takes pleasure in the idea of torturing the non believers in hell like the Quran does with graphic descriptions of how people are going to be tortured there.
When I was instructed on the basics of Islam by my grandmother, I found it to be very peaceful, at least the way we learned it from our forefathers.
The matter on if I believe it or not is an entirely other, but I found nothing disturbing in the way we practice Islam in Turkey.
I personally enjoy our religious holidays, and various customs associated with it. Not to mention that I've always found the halls of a mosque very peaceful, and the sound of call to prayers, quite hypnotic when sung by an experienced muezzin.
Obviously, you can't really understand what I'm saying, as you probably have a shallow approach to religion, not just Islam.
