How are buddhists an outlier?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'd guess because they aren't theists, or at least not as a rule. As a religion it trends more philosophical than mystical.

It's an outlier because it isn't really a religion so much as it is a set of philosophies.

I'm guessing you haven't spent much time in countries where people leave offerings to various Buddhas and Bodhisattva in the hopes of positive interventions in love and business.

You might be thinking of Taoism. Buddhism is very much a religion.

B/c atheism is just another religion where people pick and choose whatever they want to believe.
