Suppose ABC is the name of a religion
1. It is only ABC that/which Correctly Inherits Its Founder's Teachings.
2. ABC -- The Religion that/which Correctly Inherits Its Founder's Teachings.
3. ABC -- the Religion that/which Correctly Inherits Its Founder's Teachings.
(a) Of the three statements above, which sounds the best to the native speaker's ear?
(b) For the second and third statements, should the 'the' be capitalised?
(c) Should 'that' or 'which' be used?
(d) If 'which' is the correct word, should there be a comma after "ABC" in statement 1?
(e) Should 'Only' be used in the statements?
Thanks.
The best option for native speaker's ear is to use "to be" instead of dash.
No word should be capitalised exept the name of the religion and the first letter of the sentence.
"That" or "which" is optional, but I prefer "that".
So you have two options:
1. It is only ABC that correctly inherits its founder's teachings (If you need to stress that ABS is the only religion that .... use this).
2. ABC is the only religion that correctly inherits its founder's teachings.
If only ABC inherits ... but other religions don't, you have to use "only". If there's no difference weither ABS is the only religion that... or not you may use the sentence without "only".
Comma isn't needed.
