Best Religion In The World? Not! Go back to Todayinreligion.com I think Beliefnet got snookered. They printed an article entitled: Freedom From Religion: Buddhism Wins Best Religion in the World Award. It said that a Geneva-based group called the International Coalition for the Advancement of Religious and Spirituality (ICARUS) gave the award to the Buddhist Community after a panel of 200 religious leaders from every part of the religious spectrum chose Buddhism. Criteria included factors such as promoting personal and community peace, increasing compassion and a sense of connection, and encouraging preservation of the natural environment. I am ashamed to admit I was ready to run with this story without fact-checking it. Fortunately, I read the blog comments before I began typing. Several people claimed it looked like a story from the satirical fake news organization, The Onion. It may or may not be the work of the Onion, but it sure looks like someone has been playing around. The International Coalition for the Advancement of Religious and Spirituality (ICARUS) is not on the Web, and neither is its head, Hans Groehlichen. That said, I think an award is an interesting idea. Why not come up with an award for the most peaceful religion in the world? It might embarrass the rest of them into behaving better. I think it would be appropriate to give one to a Western religion and one to an Eastern religion. In the West, I would pick the Quakers. In the East I would have to go with the Jains. Peace between countries and communities doesn't have much of a place in religion. On a lark, I went to the online Bible at BibleGateway.com and did a keyword search on the word peace. I came up with 247 passages. I didn't read them all but the ones I read were mostly along the line of "peace be with you" and "go in peace." There was nothing about peace between countries or being peaceful to the people in the next town. I did another search on the word "war" and the good news is there were only 137 entries! Here is the Beliefnet article, in case the link stops working. Freedom From Religion: Buddhism Wins Best Religion in the World Award Wednesday July 15, 2009 In light of the ongoing Freedom From Religion Foundation case, I found this news item interesting.
