Of all Abrahamic religions Judaism makes the most sense to me as an Agnostic. In fact I think it makes a lot of sense and works for people who prefer a tribal and traditional society. Out of the choices given for this particular question my answer is between Protestant and Orthodox. I hate Catholicism, it is the least biblically accurate of the three, and from what I’ve been able to gather on it it’s obviously a false religion more so than other Abrahamic religions, bordering Mormonism for champion of biggest bullshit religion. Before I became an Agnostic I was raised Catholic. I dislike their view on divorce (I believe it should discouraged but I don’t think it should be out of the question of things aren’t working out), the idea of a pope is stupid to me as well. Furthermore the Catholic Church is responsible for some of the greatest crimes against humanity ever conceived. Catholic kings destroyed many cultures of the entire Western Hemisphere. Not to mention Catholics have a bad history when it comes to children, this goes back to the days where they would sometimes castrate young boys that had pleasant singing voices so their voice wouldn’t deepen with age and they could always sing for the church/church choir. Since they require celibacy of their priests it is more likely to develop issues when around those who are vulnerable such as children. They are a vile, disgusting cult.
Now with between Protestant and Orthodox there are many differences. The two biggest differences is one believing in salvation through faith alone while the other through actions. Another big difference is Protestants pray to God and Jesus while Orthodox practitioners don’t limit themselves to just those two. Their salvation is more of a process, and they also believe that God or Holiness can be in object late or places from what I’ve gathered. There are aspects of both I prefer over the other. I guess what tips it in favor of Protestants is that they reject Mary as a spiritual figure and Protestants were the primary religious group to build this nation. So my answer is Protestant, but I think all organized religions are stupid, some just less than others.

I choose Protestant. A lot goes with what American Charm wrote too. You need to be focused on God who's in the scriptures not focused on things outside of it. To excess God for eternal life it all comes down to the scriptures not some mentor/guide/guru. Those cannot save you but God in the scriptures can. John 5:39 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
