Buddism is no longer a religion?

Buddhism in point of fact is the only one something, I do not want to name it like ideology, philosophy, religion or any other creeds that is totally clean of all these labels and dogmas. The Buddha or I say not " the" Buddha for there were not other Buddhas, rose above all ideologies. He was a man of compassion and I do not all him by God.

They dont only only use "bible" to "justify actions". They use morals. My morals better than your morals.

a) what do either of your statements have to do with anything, and b) men can steal territories in the name of their country or their culture just as easily as they can in the name of religion. Japan had a huge conquest over the south-pacific in World War 2, and they are predominantly Buddhist, or so I am told (I know they have an idiosyncratic Shinto religion, but it is, I am told less significant than Buddhism). Religion and war can be related, but generally have nothing to do with each other. The French and the English were both Catholic, but that didn't stop them for fighting a war for how long? 116 years?

Since that is out of the way, can we please get back to the topic? Does anyone have a source that agrees with the original post, or is this a rumor?

You just answer your own question. Those country use religion derived moral back up wrong interpretation of religion. Some country use moral alone-they say people immoral so okay to kill them steal land. Again, a judgement on ground of moral.

It not rumor that some Buddhist call religion philosophy.This can easy be found on Google.
