>>2685973You have an orientalist view of buddhism, buddhism can hardly even be called a singular religion, it is closer to hinduism than anything. Atheism denies gods / god and deities a a whole, buddhism has an entire mythos and cosmology that revolves around deities. You would be laughed at if you are to deny this at any buddhist temple outside the west where the majority of "buddhists" are new age hippie multilevel marketing schemes / cults for yoga farting sluts.
>the greek atomists were materialists but believed the gods were material beings. if they were and this could be shown scientifically, it would not be simple based on faithAgain they believed in something immaterial being material, when gods only ever existed as an abstract concept. If they were smart enough they'd say gods' material forms were their own brains, since that's what created gods in the first place. The material form of a god is a thought in the brain.
No hate, I don't want to lecture others on what to belief, but seeing your secularism I have to ask you to kindly kill yourself liberal retard. Fucking moron. You have to be a complete ignorant deluded moron to look at the history of buddhism and come to the conclusion it is not religious.
