I need a good reason to invest time and money into worshipping deities. An old book isn't enough...

did you even read the OP?

 

panthiesm and religions like buddhism aren't about deities

 

they are the same as the scientific knowledge

I'm more or less fine with the different schools of Buddhism. Now, I'm no expert on Buddhism but I get the impression that it's more about finding inner harmony, showing respect to life and searching for wisdom. I enjoy listening to Dalai Lama and while I don't look at him as my spiritual leader or something like that I do consider him a man of wisdom. He doesn't seem to be on a mission to oppress, convert or censor either, which is nice.

While I do like many of the ideas of Buddhism I still don't see the point of calling myself a buddhist, and I like the freedom of not belonging to any religious camp.

yeah that fine

but when you say that u are atheist

it sends the wrong signal and people who lack knowledge start calling themselves athiest and ignorance spreads
