I'm not 100% sure on this but... snoopster - 27/01/2003 10:12:26 AM

I mean, Buddism counted is as a religion, but they don't believe in a god, they follow the teachings of Budda. Are they Atheists ?

I was in China about 5 years ago on a holiday tour type thing and the guide we had there said that there are gods in Buddism - they just don't match the conventional sense of Gods.

The Buddist gods, I think there are 4 of 'em, take the role of protecting the world from evil demons and don't form the centre point of the religion. Plus they do erect idols to Budda and build temples
