Buddhism is not a religion it is a philosophy.. if we follow this philosophy we can find the better future of life.. not only this life it will affect to next birth as a Buddhism.. my opinion is world best religion is budhism
Funny topic)) To me, I think it's the most logical, rational and peaceful religion, which teaches you, among other things, how to meditate effectively.
One thing that I most agree with
Buddhism tells you to take care of your inner peace and spiritual health, as it's more important than worshiping something unknown that no one has ever seen.

Yeah, i agree. Very peacefull and liberating religion
I am a buddhist. I would like to know others opinion on my religion.. 
We have studied buddhism during our asian studies way back sophomore year. And as I can see, buddhism clearly is set in a peace loving exostence platform. Like every pain or misery that we are experiencing is brought about by our desire. Sounds logical. Luving kike a buddhist entails zen and peace inevery aspect. I agree with you. I was born in a country where Buddhists are around 9% of the population. They are very friendly and peaceful. But I can say a few demerits about Buddhists as well. Some of the Buddhist ethnic groups (such as Tamangs) doesn't value family relationships. They will sell their children for money and buy alcohol using the revenues.
Buddhism is a soteriological religion — solely concerned with one’s salvation — rather than a communal religion of the sort that holds celebrations of birth, marriage, or ritual and comfort over death. Buddhism does not fill the very human desire to have an interventionist God or gods one can solicit help from in bringing rain for the crops or a win for the football team. It is almost like one half of the DNA with room for the communal-type religions to hook into with the other half of the DNA. It is very likely an excellent survival mechanism for Buddhism, allowing it to fit into whatever culture it encounters by allowing what’s already there to co-exit with it.

Buddhism gets practised in every county differently so research is maybe not so easy.
Ive heard that in some countrys there are too much rituals / traditions / worshipping going on because the Suttas (original teachings of the Buddha) were only available in old languages like Pali and Sanskrit for a long time. So most people hadnt the ability to see if the way they practise buddhism is the right one. As more people are becoming aware of the Suttas (because of good translations) buddhism will go back to its roots finally.

i pretty much like it but taoism is my religion of choice
Oriental religions are very similar. But the difference between Buddhism and Taoism is that the former evolved out of Hinduism, while the latter evolved out of the Chinese folk religions. But like all the other oriental religions, Taoism has lost adherents during the last few decades to atheism and Christianity. Taoism is having a significant following only in Taiwan (33% of the population). In mainland China, less than 1% of the people are Taoist, although the situation is better in Hong Kong and Singapore.

I respect founder of your religion and your respect and love towards peace, other people, serving others etc.
I respect monks in your temples, their prayer lives, high spiritual standards etc.
I can't agree with some of your ideas as that ''Nirvana'' is our ultimate goal, our idea about God is not clear enough etc.
But, despite it, I really have high respect toward you and your faith.
After all, we are all brothers and sisters, children of one, common God.
There is alot of parallelism with Buddhism and Christianity. But what i like the most is the lifestyle. It basically explains how not to be a douchebag. I also like how to look at life step by step. A process, which is how change and enlightenment should be. I come to respect it when we studied it in highschool

Personally , i do not believe in any religion . As far as i know, buddism is the most peaceful religion on earth and buddist people the calmest of all people. Even though i do not have any religious beliefs, buddhism seems good to me.

Buddhism in general and Buddha in particular encourages people asking questions about his teachings. In fact, Buddha believed that nothing should be taken as fact simply because he or anyone else said so. He believed that all teachings should be questions and the answers discovered for oneself.
Buddhism is one of the most peaceful religions in the world, (if not the most peaceful). it talks about the inner purity and coping with problems on your own, rather than following unrealistic god or belief.
most of the other religions follow gods but not in Buddhism, Buddha is a human, and every person can reach to the enlightenment by clearing your thoughts and by understanding the reality of life

agreeing to those people who say Buddhism is a religion of peace because of their concept of "Nirvana" and spirituality . They don't have a holy book unlike Christians and Muslim and dictates what they are going to do with their lives and usually becoming aggressive to other people by forcing them to be one of them.
Yes, I agree, in this sense, Buddhism is very different from other religions. Religion of peace.

personally although i was raised Christian, and believe that Jesus is the only one who can forgive sins, i think Buddhism is a nice, peaceful "religion" that can be adopted by both believers or atheists to incorporate spirituality into their lives.. 
It is definitely one of the least destructive religions and i think it offers some of the best spiritual advice as i have to admit the Bible is confusing and contradictory in places, and Buddhism teaches much of the same precepts and morals without being so confusing!

I agree with you that Budhism is a religion for peace. They are peacefull being specially those spiritual leaders. They have so much ancient knowledge and I do not think thet believe Budha as god.

Buddhism is a religion that has no God. It is called a non theistic religion. It is all about the human, the way they life is, our thinking and struggle. It is practice by people and indirect, not really easy to understand on some. It is about meditation and reflection. It is all about basic goodness just my opinion regarding this matter.
And then who is the Buddha? But the Buddhism I love. Not because I believe in God, but because they do not force anyone to accept your faith and tolerant of all.I just want to ask also that why do Buddhists pray to Buddha?? Is he a God?? But then, despite of many questions I have, I still like the teachings of Buddhism especially on the way of living. How to achieve balance with nature. And on having inner peace that is really important to have an understanding on human nature.

I actually am a big fan of Buddhism and subscribe to many of its ideas (Although not all) in my opinion it is the most rational religions.
I also like some of the statements of this religion. And I like the fact that this religion propovedet peace and harmony.
