"Buddhism is a religion" - Wikipedia
Even Buddhists say theirs is a religion. I just hate people saying things publicly that are incorrect. you'd think they'd check out the facts first
Unfortunately fr0d0 Buddhism is PERCEIVED by the GENERAL public as not being a religion. And as far as I know this was so....until recently. (As I have said in another post) religions acquire TAX BENEFITS from BEING a RELIGION and Buddhism has cottoned on to this fact. I think that it has been within the last 20 years that this has been building. So for a youngun like yourself fr0d0 you would NOT know any different. Although your facts ARE correct fr0d0.
Who knows?? Within the next 20years Atheism will become a religion??

Good luck with understanding stuff
I guess that is why we are all here fr0d0.
