My apologies for not voting; but, as an agnostic, there is no legitimate choice for me. It's like asking me whether I'd rather live in Atlantis or Shangri-La. I can't respect any ideology that is created for the purpose of controlling people's minds and behavior. Each of the three of the religions you've listed represent different shades of the same irrational and dangerous concept.
Christianity is a religion with generally no daily life laws or rules, unlike Judaism & Islam.
You only believe in Jesus Christ and should behave like a good Christian.
And the definition of that is...? If one talks to most Fundamentalist/Evangelicals there sure seems to be a lot of "don'ts."
Don't read that, don't listen to that, don't wear that, don't watch that, don't drink that, don't go there, don't think like that...
None, how can a civilized person admire any of the listed religions when they are connected to hundreds of millions of deaths, are OK with slavery, condoned genocide, turn a blind eye to sex abuse and rape, and support prejudice in so many ways to fill this page if time allowed . A person with true morals would reject them all.
I think modern Reform Judaism, which does seem to let the issue of god take a back seat to behaving ethically and being responsible to your family and community, is OK. Like any extremes, Orthodox and fundamentalist Judaism is bad. But I don't think one should need to identify with any religious group in order to behave ethically and be responsible to family and community. I know, I'm dreaming. But I think atheists are the most ethical people I know, and it's not fear-based.
