Buddhism!

What do godless think of Buddhism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism.

It seems such a peaceful religion that definitly doesn't advocate violence. It barely advocates God even.

It's idea of "sin" is being stressed out and out of whack generally.

It's idea of "virtue" or "saintliness" appears to be sitting peacefully sipping a mug of green tea.

I'm an ex-Buddhist from Myanmar (have been an atheist for a long time now) and all I can say is that it's a religion that has a lot of irrational beliefs and superstition.

There are good values such as being mindful and having compassion towards others but the superstitious dogmas get people believing in all sorts of wacky stuff.

They need to be more rational.
