   One person can't answer this question. I doubt that one one person would have enough religious experience to know the answer. You have to ask it as a survey. You could ask "are you satisfied with your religion?" For me the answer is yes, and I'm a Christian.

   So true SM ,that is like saying which wine is the best when there are over a thousand varieties, we know religion is more then in the thousands.
   Because people, worship different thing and deities .
   The word you used SSTL disillusioned is considered your  personal opinion.
   Because most people that worship are not disillusioned no more then you are .

   It's not easy to say because part of the equation to make it work is the person. It depends on that person's mind set, if they are open to the right understanding. Just like debunkers slam the psychics, healers or New Age thinkers because it doesn't work for them. It doesn't work for them because they don't believe it will work. So in that sense, it is working. Same with the Law of Attraction. Some people take off like a rocket and get the things they want, others say it's b.s. and don't get what they want. So the disappointment is inevitable because everybody doesn't have the same degree of faith or devotion. And some of it requires suspending logic, reason and the worldly programming in order for it to work. A miracle can never be logical. Can walking on water or bilocation be logical?

      SriT - it's one thing if people don't correctly practice a teaching. It's quite another when the teaching is faulty to begin with. Islam is constantly causing conflict, while Buddhism has no history of holy wars.

      Every religion will have good people and bad people in it. It is human. I have studied Buddhism and they have people who don't always live up to the high morals either. No religion is perfect, some have myths. You can only use what you can.

   According to Pew Research - http://www.pewforum.org/2012/12/18/glob … cape-exec/ There is a growing number of people leaving their religious affiliation. These statistics are from 2012 and you would need to find some more recent studies to compare these same polls with to determine which religion is "losing" the most adherents.
   I think religion in general is losing its grip on a more educated and scientific population. At least I hope so.

   My vote is all of them have "disillusioned people". Many still hold onto their basic beliefs but are turned off by the politics or individuals within their organized religion.
   Nevertheless the most disillusioned group of people are those who keep insisting the world is coming to an end on specific dates and once those pass by they're scratching their heads. Jehovah's Witnesses' alone have predicted the world would end in 1874, 1878, 1881, 1910, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, and 1984.
   Since then (major religions) have steered clear of the "prediction business".
   Also those splinter religious groups or cults that cut themselves off from the mainstay of society are likely have many disillusioned people mainly because they were more attracted to their "charismatic leaders" than they were to the religion itself. Once those leaders demonstrate questionable behavior the group falls apart.

   In my opinion all religious figures like the Buddha & Jesus etc we're all just normal people that became enlightened as to why we're here, & also what was wrong with all the other people on earth at the time....Then religions we're born concentrating on these people in history, & then far too much writings & teachings we're developed over the years....Buddhism & the Bible for example are far to complicated to work out for the average person, when instead the average person should be out practising being nice & kind caring individuals, until they see why their supposed to act & be that way....The reason their supposed to act that way (being kind caring etc),is because they give back the best feelings possible to ever receive....So reading about religions is a waste of time, compared to actually practising it in reality at every opportunity. :-).
