That religion was born from Hinduism and the Vedas. The legend of the first Buddha was also a magical story where the divine told his mother Queen Maya that she would give birth to a baby who would bring wisdom to the world, he too had a birth that avoided the birth canal. And it is a religion to call it anything less is bullshit to me. It too has moral codes and holy people and competing sects and different interpretations. While some are atheists and call it a philosophy, others hold the superstitions of "nats"(spirits) and Karma and reincarnation.Buddhism holds to no dogma. At it's sustaining core there are two demonstrable truths, a counteragent regarding the first two and a final method to free oneself from them...the rest is philosophy and/or window dressing.
Buddhism is as much a superstition as any other religion stemming from mythology.
Take it as you wish....Buddhism doesn't care.
