So wait... you have to try to prove one religion is BETTER than another?

That sounds terrible... Who thought THAT was a good idea?

I need serious help. I was assigned an essay in history. THe problem is we have to pick a religion or whatever and compare it to another and prove it better. This is somewhat hard. I really need help.

That can't possibly be right.

Better like, more ethical, or better like more awesome?

Take a bland and inoffensive religion, like the most tolerant form of Christianity you can find, and compare it to an ancient religion that believed in human sacrifice.  You should be able to prove that the inoffensive religion is better than the human sacrificing one.

Something like that. I am doing Christianity and Evolution.(Yes, though not a religion we can compare) or was that something else

Oi, that's hardcore.

I suggest you take Leafsnail's advice. Take something that's the norm where you live and juxtapose it with Aztec !MURDERDEATHKILL! or Scientology.

Take the Roman Pantheon and Compare it to the Hellenic Pantheon, just compare all the myths and beliefs and state which one you found more kick ass.

If your teacher says they aren't real religions, kill her/him.

We could do ANYTHING.

Compare atheism to everything else. Conservatives call Atheism a religion, so can you!

Atheism is a religion. Atheists worship the mad god Athe, who demands weekly blood sacrifice.

Honestly, though, that's a good idea. You could point out that atheists are no less ethical than most religious people (normally).

I dunno, I wouldn't call it a religion.  It has no central doctrine, church, worshipping patterns, divine orders or bank account (this is why atheists get bad press - they don't have millions lying around in a central bank account) and is basically just a loose grouping of people who think that a God doesn't exist.

I'll just say one: Technology.
