I reckon voodoo is OK, as it features in a James Bond film & therefore can't be all bad.
Buddhists might be a bit annoying, but there is a definite link between paganism & being a hapless crusty fuck so that gets my vote every time.

AFAIK, paganism and voodoo have never been used by authoritarian regimes to excuse repression, ethnic cleansing and robbing the peasants, so I'd say it has to be buddhism.
That's if you exclude the Tonton Macoute, of course

So you approve of the building of Stonehenge by forced labour, then?

Oops, what I meant to say is 'haven't recently been used'.
The romans were pagans, as were the Mongols, and, y'know they did bad things too, incredibly enough
I voted for Paganism out a (former) Muslim twinge of unbridled hatred.

Oooh, get you and your atavistic hatreds. Wish I was heir to a tradition of interneccine struggle I can barely bring myself to hate Turks, some days.

Poor bastard. You're hatred impaired. And there isn't a cure for that yet (well...not one that won't kill you eventually), although I'm working on it.

Voodoo, voodoo.
Paganism and buddhism are fine by me, people only believe these wacky ideas cause they've been fucked in the head. In a future society, will people be free to worship at the pantheon of Cu Chulainn and Waizganthos, or shall we all be wanking off to some dirge-like Marxist balls? Freedom of conscience, or enforced materialism? I think we should be told.

I don't know about "in a future society," but I strongly suspect I know what revol will be doing.
Sorry, did I say, "will be"?

Paganism, because of the crust factor, and because it's even more prone to wishy-washy new-age bullshit than Buddhism.
I'm too frightened to diss voodoo.

Isn't it wiccanism? Not sure if wiccanism counts as paganism, and can't be arsed to find out either.

Being a true christian, I'd have to say none of the above. God speaks to us through all religions. Ha! Not what you'd expect from a christian, is it?
People believe in religions, because there is symbolic information which our subconscious minds understand, but our conscious minds do not understand. If one opens one's mind to it, one can learn far more wisdom than is available to the most highly trained college professor.
From what I've seen, Pagans are often nicer people than so called Christians. I don't know nothing about voodoo people, other then what they show in the movies. I'm sure they aren't like that in the real world. Anyway, Voodoo is a christian religion.
I think Wiccan's are considered Pagans, but I'm not sure. Most I've seen who believe in Wicca are very nice people. Covens are a wiccan thing.
If you want more info on symbolism, here's a link.
Voodoo, while still ballicks, is better than the other 2 because Bodycount never wrote no songs called "paganism" or "buddhism".

It's not wicca either. Wicca is a form of paganism though.
