I would say that Buddhism is a philosophical outlook. It is a philosophy of negation; negation of troubles and challenges and even of the world with a stoic-like resignation in awareness of reality being conditional, contingent and emergent as it were. It is like the state of 2-dimensional particles that are massless becoming mass because they are slowed in the Higgs Field. Buddhists would posit that reality is illusory or maybe vanishingly temporal. Perhaps that is a Solomonesque insight about life being like a blade of grass. Belief in God is the 6th heresy of Buddhism so plainly they aren’t saved through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Even so beginners or the unreflective may have a religious devotion to Buddha burning incense and all.
American issues of Christianity, cosmology, politics, ecosphere, philosophy, contemporary history etc
