Hmmmm. I have always thought of Buddhism as an irrelevant, ancient religion. May need to reconsider.

I was raised as a Presbyterian.
I’ve been Buddhist for the last 30 years. Not a lot of difference. I never went to church that often and now I only go to the temple occasionally.
Buddhism is only about 300 years older than Christianity.
it arose out of the adharma (athiest) aspect of Sanatana Dharma (what you would call hinduism) as a way to “escape” the cycle of birth-death-rebirth.
It’s a milder form of Jainism, which arose around 700 BC.
Both of them believe there is no creator god and that you can escape the cycle by attaining nirvana
