I'm an atheist, but exploring Buddhism...is that acceptable?
First of, studying anything like this isn't bad in and of itself.
As for believing it in its entirety: I could see looking at the ethical teachings to see what you want to take away from it, but at the end of the day, they're going to make a lot of nonfalsifiable assertions about spiritual things. While it might not be talking about "God" specifically, it's still nonfalsifiable woo.
