Regarding the question it sounds like the religion you choose would be the one who's afterlife is real. Thus we must choose the religion with the worst afterlife for non-believers.
We'll ignore non-major religions and it's impossible to take into account all all the smaller variants. So I'll only consider Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism and their major variants.
All of these religions except Christianity have influential variants where you can attain grace (and thus avoid damnation) even if you are not a believer.
So basically we end up with Christianity, because it's the only one major religion lacking influential variants where salvation is possible without worship. I'm sure you can find smaller variants that say otherwise or that theological debate on the subject exists, however.
