Buddhists are atheists of a sort but they believe in some weird spiritual stuff. I'd explore the aspects of meditation as it can be useful. Sam Harris admires Buddhism and often describes it as a gateway to self-awareness and a greater sense of "universality" or an "us" feeling. It's interesting stuff to be sure.

The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one yet that showed any interest in it.
