From my perspective it doesn't align with most religions becuase of it's lack of a God or God's. One I'm sure could argue that Buddha could be considered a God and the Dali Lama a prophet, but I don't think internally that's their view. In a lot of other aspects it does though, life after death, doing good works gains a reward, punishment for bad works, etc. Just as Christianity differs only from the usual religious formula in that it doens't believe Good works are what gets you a reward.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
