When I was moving away from christianity, I was interesting in bhuddism because of the ideas of self enlightenment and reincarnation. Instead of telling myself that I'm evil, and need someone to save me, I could work hard to reach enlightenment myself. Pretty much the opposite of christianity. Plus being reincarnated sounded more interesting than worshiping Yahweh/Jesus in one place for eternity.

I never really explored it too deeply, though at one point I found out that reincarnating is not meant to be ideal.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
