I don’t know if I agree, but was once told Judaism.
Theory is pretty much in their religion only Jews go to Heaven when the Messiah comes. However if Jesus was Messiah he will let Jews into Heaven anyhow. Hence they hedged their bets. Any other contenders? |

Well, that’s funny because we don’t really have a developed theory about the afterlife.
So that would be ironic. |
Well considering we are currently in hell ... all bets are off. |
Pretty sure billions do have a theory. Proof not so much. |
| The Nac Mac Feegle believe this is heaven and when we die we are reincarnated into the real world. |
I’m referring to Jews. |

I think anyone who watched South Park can answer this.
Seriously, OP, can you see that your math only works if "religion" is limited to the binary choice of Judaism or Christianity, and even then only if your beliefs about the Christian afterlife are correct? That's pretty limited. |

Romans 10: 9-10 was written for you OP:
If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. |
Nope. Most Jews do not believe in an afterlife. |
| Only Orthodox Jews have a belief in an afterlife; most do not. |
| Pascal's Wager? |
| Catholicism of course. |

Mine.
Which says, God made us all- he made us believers and non-believers too. Whatever happens, it happens to all of us. |
If heaven is this piss-poor, how bad is reality going to be? |

If you believe that faith gets you into heaven, then there is no point in asking the question. You cannot will yourself to believe in a given deity or presentation of a deity. If you do have faith in a deity, then I guess you hope you are correct.
If you believe your actions may earn you a spot in heaven, I would say Buddhism, although they will all be very surprised to find such a place exists. Buddhists stress respect for all creation and empathy for all. They harm no sentient beings. And I have not heard of anyone starting a war in the name of Buddhism. It's just hard to imagine a deity who would send a good Buddhist to hell. |
