Is Buddhism a religion or philosophy? I have debated many times over the years with people who are fond of Buddhism but tend to dislike religion. Of course anybody who has studied Buddhism in any depth knows that Buddhism is a religion first and foremost. Is Buddhism a philosophy? Yes but in the way that Christianity is a philosophy that is to say that there is a philosophy within it but that is not what defines it.
In this episode we examine different schools of Buddhism and their supernatural beliefs in order to answer the question is Buddhism a religion or philosophy. The resounding answer is that yes Buddhism is a religion and no Buddhism is not atheist.
We will also be challenging the claims that tend to get piled in with this school of thought: firstly that Buddhism isn’t a violent religion and second the question is buddhism atheist.
