I hate to say it because it seems so dark and creepy but I would probably have to hop on the R'hllor bandwagon.  Not because Mel is a dime and I dig her dark side, but because it's the only one I see an overwhelming amount awesomeness.

As long as you're friends with a Red Preist, you can basically die whenever you want and come back to life.  Plus you can see the future.

However I don't support the whole sacrifice idea R'hllor practices.

I'm so low-key and private about this kind of thing, I'd have to go with the Old Gods.  I might pop by a sept for the Westerosi version of the Christmas Mass.

Drowned God and Red God weird me out a bit.  I really want to know what the Unsullied are up to, though.

Hahah, pop by a sept on Christmas.  Exactly what I do unfortunately.

These religions they have are strange but I'm hell of intrigued by all of them.

I don't really buy the Drowned God what so ever though.  I feel like they just discovered CPR and are mastering how to revive people the normal way haha.  That's why Euron is making his way over to R'hllor b/c he knows the deal.

The Seven.

I like how all aspects of society are represented; seems inclusive and harmless enough :P

Old Gods, no supervision, don't have to answer to any other human, lots of mystery.... and I would totally say "you old gods" like Arya does.  Either that or the Drowned God just so I could rant like a lunatic.

I'd go with the Old Gods. The religion of the Old Gods, in comparison to the other religions, don't have as many useless rules and rituals. It's not bureaucratic and uptight like the Faith of the Seven, nor is it batshit crazy like The Drowned God or R'holler.

The Old Gods, totally. Its basically a worship of nature. They dont have names or anything, they just are. I dig that. While we get a hint of what they could really be, its still pretty cool. Speaking to them via the weirwood...yeah.

i would worship the old gods, only because I feel like that is the closest thing to atheism/agnostic as I can think right now.

Seven for me. If people want to be atheists they should simply be atheists and not look for some "cover gods", let the faithful keep the Old Gods as their own.

Then I'd probably be a wildling. But wait, didn't the wildlings worship the old gods?

They do, but they are devoted to their gods for real and not closet atheists as far as I know.

The Faith of the First Men (Old Gods)

you don't have the corruption of the Seven or the craziness of the Red God or the Drowned God.

I would like to know a little bit more about the faith of the Unsullied.

The Old Gods it seems rather Buddhist and I've always had an interst in their practice of appreciating all.

But if I was living in Westeros and saw the power of R'hllor being preached by Moqorro, Thoros of Myr, and Melisandre, I would be left speechless and possibly reconsider.  

Or go Victarion, and honor both (but he's a badass moron, who honors a a religion as stupid as Scientology, oh wait that's a cult not a religion.)

Because I don't pick my real religious views on how badass they are, drowned god, many-faced god, and red god are out of the question. I would go with the old gods, but would probably worship the seven if i lived in the south.
I do love victarion's "this god has magic but mines badass... Why not go with both?"

Nice.

Old gods for me. Seems like the least intrusive religion.
