Is Buddisam even a religion? I always thought it was a lifestyle. How can people call it religion when there is no higher force or God in it? And i mentioned in my post that i was talking about 3 MAJOR religons ( major as in, they are the most succesful ones trought the world), so hinduisam is not included, since hindus live mostly in India. You might say ''but the only country with the jewish religion is Israel and the population isnt even that big threre'' and yes, that is true but there are a lot more jews outside of Israel than Hindus out of India (correct me if i am wrong on this one)... anyway, i wasnt disagreeing with your post or trying to start a debate, i was just saying that all 3 Abrahamic religions believe in the same God, they just call it diffrently and worhsip him in the other way

Buddhism doesn't subscribe to your God, that's all the information that is required. Whether you define it as a religion or philosophy is irrelevant.

And since when has India not been part of the world? So because the religion has a high population density in one area of the world it can't be considered a world religion? I'm afraid things don't work like that.

Either way it doens't matter, because as I said population sizes don't count for squat when assessing which is the more credible of two God

And Buddisam isnt a relgion, so of course it doesnt subscirbe to my God. Not just my God but any God at all. since why its not a religion .Juddisam is much more spreaded trought the world than hinduisam,  and that all 3 abrahamic religions believe in the same God, thats was my whole point.

Did you understand my post? I'm not interested in debating the definition of religion. You asserted that most people believe in a God, and that God is the same God, just with different stories. I have tried to show in previous posts that this was false for two reasons:

1. Most of the world doesn't subscribe to the Abrahamic God,

2. Population sizes don't count when assessing the credibility of a God's existence objectively.

Now what I've shown is that simply is that number one is valid, as over 3 billion people in the world reject the Abrahamic God. Whether Buddhism is a religion or a philosophy is completely irrelevant to my argument, the bottom line is that they are half a billion people who do not subscribe to the Abrahamic God.

The same with Hinduism. Hinduism counts as over a billion people who reject the idea of the Abrahamic God. Whether they are a worldwide organisation or not doesn't matter, the point is that they don't subscribe to the Abrahamic God. I don't care if Jewish people are spread out worldwide, I'm not interested in debating that as it's completely irrelevant; the fact is that there is vastly more Hindus than Jews.

Either way population sizes wouldn't matter when looking at the credibility of a personal God. Whether it is Yaweh or Thor, the playing field is level.

you said ''most people are atheists to all Gods but one, but some of us just go one God further". I understood that you were talking about religions only because you said '' most people are atheists to all Gods but one'' and buddisam is not a religion so it doesnt fit into a group of people that are atheists to all Gods but one because they dont even have a God to begin with. And plus, i even said i was talking about Abrahamic religions only (which members are in THE MAJORITY in the world btw) so why you brought up the buddisam in the first place is beyond me.

 

I knew i sholdn ask that question.
