I wonder how many European atheists realise there is no god in Buddhism?

They pray to saints in buddhism though.

Probably more historically accurate to the origins of this "god" thing anyway.

It doesn't matter. Their core belief is a supernatural superstition: the cycle of reincarnation and past lives and, even worse, karma.

Cause Buddha said find out for yourself?

Hi nostr:npub1w4swqedal6gcw23ndd93tkkdy3zj2l6zjdjvzrhu8rnw0k8lc8lswzprhz . Why are you projecting this just on european atheists? That's really interesting. From my perspective beein atheist is also somehow the trial to group people together to a believe system. For myself, i am not part of any religious organization. This doesn't mean i don't believe in things i don't understand.

I guess because of the reality of where atheists are, there are really only two secular “societies” in the world the Orient and Northern Europe and one of them probably knows Buddhism quite well.

China is an atheist state as a national strategy, but Europeans have got there organically.

Thank you for sharing.

Just realize that maybe i grew out of it.

I'm really sure people would put me somehow into this category. But this word starts to become meaningless for me.

The darkness of those map sections also correlates to the degree of socialism prevalent in the places in question.

I'm not sure what the point is.
