I believe he is from Glastonbury in the UK.
This is a hippy mecca like haight ashbury.
Still better to believe in something then nothing.

I agree. I think it is better to believe in something than nothing. I've studied Buddism and have found it has many good teachings in it. I choose to be Christian, but to each his own. Personally I could care less who this guy decides to follow spiritually in his "personal" life.

Nope. Wrong. The act of believing in what is false leads to the same destination as believing in nothing.

In this case, I must respectfully disagree. This is not classical Buddhism, but the Soka Gakkai cult, which is bad news. (Just ask the GI's who (or whose wives) have become entangled in SG.

SG is openly acknowledged to be a front for (or identical with) the Japanese Komei political party.

IIRC, involvement in SG has, in many cases, led to dischasrge from the U.S. armed forces, and/or has resulted in revocation of GIs' security clearances.
