The Supreme Court on Thursday, in a 4-4 ruling, said Oklahoma cannot create the nation's first religious charter school funded directly with taxpayer dollars.
but there is alittle belief in buddhism, eventhough they dont pratice fully like monks in tibet do. some are very hard into praticing and those people tend to be more conservative in general. we had a porcelain statue of said buddhas but not go crazy religious, and vegan like some do.
Sorry, not correct. 90% don’t associate with “religion”, but to them that means religious orgs. 30% of Chinese people believe in Buddha. Only around 30% are actually Atheist
Wait I thought Buddhism was technically an atheistic religion, with the exception being the more syncretized branch offs? Kinda in the same weird area and Neo-platonic philosophy.
Buddhism is nothing more than an inclusive set of guidelines people can choose to follow to be happier (nirvana), and not an exclusive “religion” reserved for believers. The “Buddha” actually started his life as a spoiled hindu prince, and then got tired of being rich, and starved himself under a tree to find true enlightenment.
Look up the 4 noble truths and the eightfold path if you want to learn what buddhism actually is. I would link it, but i don’t know how to embed links on here.
I have always believed that Jesus was a Buddhist. If not, he sure acted like one.
I was blown away recently when I found out that 90’ish percent of chinese people are athiests.
