This can include cults, denominations or other religions like Islam, Shinto, Christianity, etc.

I lean towards Christian Scientists. Any religion that discourages medical help has problems.

Radical Islam and Radical fundamentalist Christianity. Both are stuck in the Dark Ages and cant get over the fact nobody could care less about them.

Although I do find the idea of "hell" ridiculous and both Islam and Christianity believe in that, even the most moderate.

Any religious sect or ideology that attempts to use science as a means of justifying its presence and beliefs earns the Grade-A loony mark in my book.

After searching Wikipedia, I think I've finally found the most ridiculous religion:

Nuwaubianism is an esoteric cosmology, a collection of religious teachings, a group of religious, tribal, and fraternal organizations, and a set of cultural practices that is multifaceted and ever-changing.

York developed Nuwaubianism by drawing on a wide range of sources which include Theosophy-derived New Age movements such as Astara as well as the Rosicrucians, Freemasonry, the Shriners, the Moorish Science Temple of America, the revisionist Christianity and Islam of the Ahmadiyya Movement founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the numerology of Rashad Khalifa, the ancient astronaut theories of Zecharia Sitchin, Robert Temple’s The Sirius Mystery, J.J. Hurtak’s The Keys of Enoch, the works of Richard Shaver (a proponent of the Hollow Earth theory), David Icke, the UFO mythology of greys and reptilians, the political and legal theories of patriot mythology, modern scientific and pseudoscientific legends like those of Area 51, the Philadelphia Experiment, Project Blue Book, Montauk Project, and MJ-12, popular conspiracy theories such as those about the Illuminati or the Bilderberg Group, and even a paperback on fortune-telling.

Journalist Adam Heimlich reviewed a number of York’s booklets in 2000 and wrote:

A partial list, from my notes, of places I’d encountered Nuwaubian notions before includes Chariots of the Gods and the Rael’s [sic] embellishments on that book, conspiracy lit, UFO lit, the human potential movement, Buddhism and new-age, astrology, theosophy and Blavatsky, Leonard Jeffries and other Afrocentrics, Cayce, LaRouche, alternative medicine, self-help lit, Satanism, the Atkins diet, numerology and yoga. Many of these York mentions by name. There are also extensive discourses on the Torah, Gospels and Koran, as well as on Rastafarianism, the Nation of Islam and the Five Percent Nation.[1]

The Southern Poverty Law Center has categorized the Nuwaubians as a black supremacist hate group.[2]

^I wonder if that's the group Louis Theroux interviewed for his Black Nationalists episode. They were pretty out there.
