ANY religion in America is legitimate for that matter under the pretense of the 1st Amendment. Its legitimacy however is questioned once it becomes physically or psychologically violent, or directly/indirectly contributes to societal riffles.
This is the #1 reason for American prosperity for all, a very delicate balance of acceptance and in some cases, tolerance of 'questionable' religions to a point.
This question should be reworded because only God alone ultimately decides which religion is 'legitimate', and 'we the people' should make every opportunity to allow the free will to deliberate those legitimacies in a non-intrusive fashion.

Religion is an umbrella filled with many interpretations of individual beliefs. unfortunately to many individuals with flawed mentalities and bazaar belief and with out the ability to interpretate will twist religion in to an evil cult that caters to it's creator.

It's a religion. Just like all the other religions. At some point in history there has been a push from most religions to convert everyone by force. There is always push back and it never succeeds. Nor will it ever succeed.

SPC Stewart Smith, this has been the way of islam since day one. It is not like any other religion. It's an evil cult. Anyone can come up with a belief system, get a few followers, and label it a religion. They don't all deserve equal respect as such. History has shown islam to be a cult of rape, death, and subjugation.
While many religions have had violent periods and scripture manipulated to justify violence, the quran is very clear. Violence is part of their play book.

Please tell me which holy book does not command violence.
Also, show me in the quran where it commands rape.
Islam is just as much a religion as christianity. Get over it.

No, I think it's a religion, but some people have used it as a way to attempt to dominate the world. I tend to agree with the folks who say that the ISIS crazies of this world and their ilk are using Islam to cover their murderous intentions. They are not true Muslims. And I'm not a Muslim apologist, not by any means.

Doesn't matter if I think it is a religion or not. Doesn't matter if I accept it as a religion or not. I don't believe in Scientology but it doesn't make it go away and it sure doesn't mean that others don't believe it exists. As far as the Bill of Rights, as long as it applies to those of us who reside in the US then it applies to everyone.

Religion has caused the most turmoil in the world. Humans have used religion to forward their ideology. If you really dig into any religion you find that they are based on an idea or notion that their is a supreme being that is bigger than all of us. All religion is based on the premise that we all should follow a set of civic standard that allows people to live in peace and harmony to pursue your dreams. There is evil in this world and evil people use religion to their advantage to control and dictate evil by interpreting religion to meet their end goal. If you look through history evil is manifested through ignorance. Keep the population uneducated, control them by using religion as third tool or to give evil a bases to operate. Don't allow the people to think freely, take their dignity and use violence or fear to achieve their agenda and this gives them the power they need. I'm a Born Again Christian and I know there is a place for me when I pass. This allows me to be very happy, no worries and most of all how I should treat my neighbor. Always watch for evil because it will always come knocking however I'm educated enough to know what evil is and insure I'm not taken advantage of. If you don't believe it's not for me to judge. I just encourage a non-believer to do your research and find a religion that feels right for you. You might realize as I did that you will enjoy life so much more. Good Luck on Your Journey.

We are a guiding light to emulate freedom of religion in this country, if you decide who is right and who is wrong. You are taking the freedom of religion away with deciding who is right or wrong.
Has anyone ever thought about the idea of people having a different path to get to the same place

I'm proud of all the respectful responses I read; not surprised. The answer is no longer an opinion, since a little over 2 Billion people think so. And since the first three words you tagged enclosed to your question were "Islam", "Religion", and "Constitution" the answer is now an emphatic "YES".

I believe that Islam itself is a religion in of itself. It is the religious nutcases that pervert it. Every religion has one. It is just that the Islamic extremists are making front and center because of everything going on in the world. Back in the 90s, Christian fundamentalists were front and center for a while. I am pretty sure that eventually someone else will grab the spotlight

SPC Daniel Edwards, Though in the 90’s the scope of the violence in the name of Christianity pales in comparison to the violence committed in the name of Islam. Even in the 90’s there were plenty of violent acts committed in the name of Islam.
So many are afraid to call a spade a spade, and often it’s the same people that complain about political correctness.
I’d like to hear how most people here define religion. If I create belief system, whether it be based on love and kindness, or one based on hatred of all non-believers and violence, gain some followers and label it a religion, I’m good to go with the PC crowd.

My simplest belief of any religion: worshiping a powerful deity that created everything and having a messager of help spread the word. As far as I can tell, all of them are like that.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all came from Abraham. Each one has many factions.

Are you kidding my ShihTzu is a beast. He defends me with the heart of a lion. God knew to put that one in a small package too. Some times when my words fail me I put up a picture instead.
