Philosophical Buddhist who is still an atheist

[Reforged]

I know next to nothing about Buddhism, but one thing I'm fairly sure of is that it's an atheist religion i.e. not associated with gods. Therefore to say you're an atheist Buddhist doesn't make much sense. I think you were meant to say you're a secular Buddhist which means you see it as a good philosophy but don't believe in the supernatural aspects.

I hope none of this changes your stance on it. It's awesome to hear that it has impacted you positively, and I'd say why not just find out more? If you see it as a philosophy then you can't go wrong in my opinion.

Not strictly speaking true. The Buddha is a God like entity that has achieved perfection through inner peace and become one with the universe. There were also many deity like figures in Buddhism's past.
The philosophy side is sound though.
