Which religion would be easiest for you if you had to be in one?

Which religion would be easiest for you if you had to be in one?
In the past when Muslims and/ or Christians occupied some country they would force their religion onto the occupied folks. So let's say you find yourself in similar situation where you had to pretend to be part of some religion to stay alive or avoid additional taxes (which were the usual means of forcing people to switch into occupation forces religion) which one would be the easiest to bear?

You can't answer FSM religion because you know why.
And also I guess we could exclude Satanism since that is not really defined - for instance to "real" Christians every other religion than theirs is Satanism.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
