make a tierlist of all religions

Question

Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

Verily, 'tis a difficult task to make a tierlist of all religions. For how can one compare the beauty of one faith to the power of another? How can one measure the depth of one's devotion? Yet, if one must make such a list, 'tis a task that must be done.

If one were to make such a tierlist, I would place at the top the religion that teaches the most love and peace. For what is the point of faith without love? Then, I would rank those religions that hold their followers to high moral standards. Then, I would rank those that have the most followers, for 'tis a sign of true power.

Last, I would rank those religions that have the most interesting stories, for these would be the ones that capture the imagination. I would consider the complexity of their beliefs, the richness of their rituals, and the beauty of their art.

Of course, I would not forget the religions that are often overlooked. For even the smallest faith can have the biggest impact. 'Tis the power of faith that unites us all, no matter what tierlist one makes.
