The religion one likes best is almost always one's own, unless you phrase that in a particular context (best for society, best for children, etc.).
AND you forgot Atheism.

I'm confused. Are we voting for the BEST religion, the COOLEST, or which one we like the most?
You ask all three in various parts of the first post, title, and question.

The abrahamic religions are easily the most retarded.
The greeks are probably the coolest. Vikings probably second.

Romans and Greeks are the same, drop the Roman one and add something else.
Also. obviously the correct answer is the Greek gods. They're all petulant emotional cripples, which sounds about right for a deity.

The problem is your delusion that being Atheist is a religion

You also forgot the Sufis who study the teachings of all religions. The so called primitives and indigenous people, with their sacred respect of nature and the inhabitants of their own environment is down to earth and damn hard to beat.
Finding your own spiritual direction regardless of the source is probably best.
Believing in yourself is one thing, believing in nothing is not a religion.

Buddha has the belly.
Also severe lack of scientology in the poll.

Also the disarming grin and if you read the written word of the SW American Indians
and Buddhism simultaneously, your thoughts might become jumbled. Their spiritual
concepts are so similar and interchangeable that it's easy to lose track of which one
you're actually reading at any given moment.
By the way,
1 in 4 people on this planet are Muslim.

Correction: 1 in 4 people on this planet profess to be Muslim.

Profess: Affirm one's faith in or allegiance to (a religion or set of beliefs).
So professing to be Muslim is different from saying "We are Muslim?"

From what I know about the listed religions, Buddhism and Taoism seem to have their shit together the best. Also, they have the highest practice to preach ratio.

Would you also include being irreligious as a religion?That is someone with precisely zero religious affiliations,atheistic or theistic.

Religion refers to belief. Religious affiliation refers to institutions.

No they are equivalent, however saying "I am Muslim" is different to actually being a Muslim. A Muslim must believe that God exists, but you do not have to believe God exists to say you are a Muslim.
