I agree with FL_TN_Nana in that technically it is a religion. It really isn't any stranger than any others, its just that we're not used to it.

I guess if you want to really get technical with it I suppose it would classify as a religion. I agree more with the cult status, but once again it's tomato's and tomahto's in my opinion.

I don't know if you meant "Religion worships God" or "Religions worship God," but either way, I beg to differ.

Is Buddhism not a religion, then?

Oh boy irishmom, you had to open up a can worms, didn't you?! Maybe Tom Cruise is a member of citydata and he can enlighten us all.

I just had a thought. It's too bad L Ron Hubbard invented this name because it would be a perfect catch-all for atheists!

Although Buddhism is 'officially' classed as a religion, it's more a 'way of life'. Most Buddhists are either atheist or agnostic.
