A large number of studies have shown that a belief, any belief is better than no belief at all. However a belief that allows you to talk directly to your god or spirit is better for you than one that requires an interpreter or intermediary.
The ideal belief to select would be completely tolerant, respect you, and your own rights to choose how and when you worship and in the form this takes. You can do this as a part of a group or just hold your own beliefs and practice on your own, whatever you are comfortable with.
The belief that is right for you will depend on your background, how enquiring you are, if you accept things easily or question a great deal, and if you want to take part in group practices.
Often people when thinking of a belief, think of the extremes, organized churches, pagan groups and the like, but there are many in between states, from the very many believers who have sorted out what they believe themselves and practice completely on their own to those who have created the overlay that works with all religions based on celebrating your beliefs (see www.unicorn-party.com ).
It also does no harm to look at other beliefs, and get an understanding of what others believe and how it affects their lives. Never jump to conclusions or accept information put out by other sources in the area of belief as some groups have a conversion objective and will mislead, or perhaps have spent so much time looking narrowly that they know of no other than their own. Did you know for example that traditional witchcraft groups have as many members who are Christians as pagans, as its a life style with a tolerant belief system open to all, with the same god as everyone else, but has no conversion objective.
