Which is the best religion?

Bad Faith Awards logo 2008No doubt you are visiting the New Humanist website because your religion is looking a bit threadbare and worn out so you are a shopping for a new one but you just can't figure out which is the best. Well, mate, your worries are over. We have devised a new game that will solve this time-honoured riddle once and for all. Yes, play God Trumps and find out if Buddhism beats Scentology, Catholicism crushes Hinduism or Zororastrianism zilches Islam.

Its good clean fun and of course not to be taken seriously at all. Just like religion really.

Meanwhile don't forget to vote in our Bad faith Awards- polls are open for another ten days or so. Sara Palin still out in front, with Ann Coulter and Adnana Oktar (now theres a match made in, ahem, heaven) hot on her heels, and Stephen Christian 'lone' Voice Green making a late surge. Vote here.

Nine Lessons update: Our three night festival of all things rational and funny, Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People, featuring Ricky Gervais, Phill Jupitus, Stewart Lee, Josie Long, Robin Ince, Richard Dawkins and Jarvis Cocker is now completely sold out. Congrats to those who got their tickets. We will be filming and audio recording it, so keep visiting for updates on how you can see or hear it.
