The choice you offer is like you asking me if I'd prefer to have a wooden skewer jabbed in my left or right eye.
At their very best, religions exist to help those in positions of authority feel better about themselves by providing concrete help to those in physical need.

At their worst, religions are about twisted, power-hungry, manipulative people exerting control over others for their own gratification while they extract money from them.
What is better? Catholicism or Protestantism?
