Buddhism is often described as an atheistic religion,as it has no gods. However, with its concepts of Karma and reincarnation,it remains a dualist belief system. IE unsupported by credible evidence. Consequently,I put Buddhism in the very large box labeled 'superstition'

You're right. That's why I believe in the philosophical aspects to it but not the supernatural aspects.
