Hinduism takes the prize, hands down.

Because of the blue skin, elephant headed and turtles all the way down? At least they play well with others and don't blow people up, assuming my sources are good.
I was thinking more of the caste system and dharmic fate.
As for the 'playing well with others bit', they're really no different than another religions. Run-of-the-mill Hindus tend to stay home and mind their own business. Hindu extremists have a proud and time-honoured tradition of killing people who have the gall to disagree with them.

Cool thread/poll idea. But at the end of the day I have little interest in determining which religion is "the worst." I've, at this point in my life, written off any and all belief systems surrounding the concept of having faith in a supernatural creator or deity. It's nonsense. It's not self-evident. It's something that was used to explain the world before people had the scientific method. And in the future, maybe hundreds or thousands of years from now, we'll have a more improved version of the scientific method, or maybe something completely different that surpasses it in every way. Who cares? Leave old stuff in the past. Keep what's good from it but throw the rest away. Change is good. The universe moves on.
Islam did this that and the third, Christians did this, blah blah blah. Who gives a fuck? Let's rid the world of religion as best we can so people can't use that as an excuse to be shitty anymore. Then we'll have to work on the other excuses people use. Maybe a world without religion would become extremely politcally polarized and THAT would be the new "religion?" Who knows. But we know religion is stupid and I don't really care which one is the worst. They're all stupid and people who believe in a supernatural deity are stupid too.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
