I conclude that Buddhism is either an atheist religion or no religion at all, depending on what definition I choose. |
its not atheistic religion,Buddhist have said it when atheism started to rise at first.it is a religion but abrahamic religion have almost changed the meaning of the word 'religion' as equal to GOD.they portray it as the same thing
Buddhism is irreligious(not religion is the way other religions define word 'religion' as) or pantheism(a separate GOD doesn't exist as GOD is the universe,no debate happens on GOD)
basically its an ideology
most atheist follow the same ideology of humanism and equality which is not an atheistic quality but pantheistic quality
what i have been trying to tell them is that the ideology you have have effects on every moment of your life and others in this world.they are hell bent on the main meaning of atheism and not how its ideology affects people and things surrounding them
