LLR: I beg to differ here. Unlike the 3 monotheistic and the many polytheistic religions out there Buddhism’s approach to dogma is different something a lot of people fail to see.
In Islam/Christianity or Judaism for example , they all have similar doctrines like of worship, salvation and the existence of a higher entity (Allah/God/Jesus/ yahweh , etc...
But in Buddhism all these things are considered as (illusions). And despite the many metaphysical concepts Buddhism teaches, nobody has to believe/follow in these things.
It’s like what MM said, a Philosophy, not a religion.
