Justbrowsing: If you could invest in the “religious stock market” which religion(s) would you put your $ into and why?
Consider that like a business… overall growth, integrity, and satisfied customers (church members) shoots your stock up; while fraud, discontent, and apathy drags it down.

Which church’s stock would you avoid?

Don’t say none, that’s boring – imagine you *had* to put $ 1,000 somewhere.

I would put it into Catholicism. It continues to grow, and history has shown it can weather any storm. I would avoid the Anglican Communion, because it is falling apart.

Answer by The Born Again Mullah **
Well I would employ a mixed strategy

$ 200 into the hinduism for long term stability and dividends
$ 400 into Islam for security + growth potential
$ 250 into paganism as a pure growth
$ 150 into Buddhism due to its potential in emerging markets (US)

Answer by Sera
Islam, because it’s the fastest growing religion and is the second largest in the world. I’d avoid Catholicism on principle, and because the majority of Catholics I’ve run in to aren’t really Catholic, they just say they are and show up at church for Christmas to make their family happy.

word of faith. The new status symbol for their pastors is a Lear Jet.

I think I’d split it between Judaism and Buddhism, or maybe if I could split it 3 ways, add hindu in there too.

might be less strong in growth, but way higher in integrity and satisfaction, and much less in the negative’s.

I think it’d be a wiser investment in the long run.

I’d avoid christianity and anything less than 2000 years old. too young and volatile.
