Taoism

extremely fascinating: things go wrong because of man's incessant desire to be involved in everything, at all times. When we step back and allow nature to take it's course (without interfering), we allow for the restoration of life's natural balance and by extension; order.

If you must have a religion, this one seems to provide a geunine path to self improvement and a way of living at peace with the world.

Taken purely as an ethical philosophy, I find Taoism to be extremely fulfilling and comforting. What's more, I think that it's the natural response to problems of many people in contemporary society. Some of the mysticism is a bit odd, though.

It's always about enjoying the path
Cons: Sometimes you trip on a destination, before you step on the next path.

Lao Tse's writings are extremely powerful. They contain the way to peace.
Cons: You really have to be dedicated. This is about life and the way you live, not a complex mythology... I think.

This philosophy opened my eyes to so many amazing things. I would highly recommend the writings of Lao Tsu and Chuang Tsu.
