I suspect that the question you're really asking (and the question people are really answering) is which religion is the simplest. In which case - and I hate to be the bearer of bad news on this - I must inform you all that life is far from simple.

Scientifically, Islam.

Christianity makes no sense in terms of a geological timeline.

Saying that the world is 5,000 years old is a real challenge.

Making stories up about angels, beasts and a single man and woman is a reflection of the power in story telling in ancient times.

I guess the author of Genesis would never had expected to have his facts checked through scientific process.

Since Google has come into being, we just dont have any fanciful storytelling anymore.

Obviously you haven't read the Quran.

If you are going to say first cause, who created the creator?

Everything in the universe requires a cause. God exists outside the universe, and therefore did not require a cause. That's how the argument has always worked.

Read a book.

One problem I have with Christianity is the "God in three persons" dogma. That is a self contradictory statement. Why isn't a belief in three separate persons polytheism? That seems to lack common sense, intuition and logic. It might be logical to believe that God is three persons (assuming that a belief in God is logical to begin with), but why isn't that polytheism? Does it suggest that "God" has a multiple personality (disorder?).

You have to remember when you use logic, reason and intuition that those are frowned on by the religious.

Martin Luther.
“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”

Here is what people who think will think of the notion of the Trinity that Constantine forced down Christianity's throat.

Why are you so triggered by God if you don't even believe he exists?

I think Buddhist philosophy is much more representative of how the world actually is than Christianity/Judaism/Islam which are more how people wish it was.

Just talking about the belief system. In regards to the mysticism element none of them make sense.

Mysticism is the only thing that makes sense, since it’s based on personal experience. Orthodoxy trips people up because it’s subject to time and space.

Mysticism: starts in a mist - centered around "I" - and ends in schism
