That would take way too long to really explain; but the short version is, they have very good theology, very good philosophy, good traditions, good hermeneutics, very good architecture, very good spiritual practices, they're very widely accessible, and they have an absurdly good historical track record when it comes to doing good for humanity.

I'm upvoting you, because I think it's very bad practice when people get downvoted for answering honestly, clearly and politely a question they were directly asked.

Even if other people think said answer wrong.
