Answer 2

Buddhism has no kasta/class difference. It teaches us that being good or bad OR evil is not because our social status nor life depends on what religion or teaching we believe in. because you are good because doing good and you are bad because doing bad.

Buddhism teaches universal love, to spread love, to have symphatic and emphatic to all creatures without exception.

in Buddhism, you never asked to believe in buddha, and buddha never force someone to believe him or in what he has taught. all is your choice, buddha teaches (and 'challenges') you to prove his teaching. (having wisdom)

Answer 4

First let me say that I'm not an expert nor have I studied Theology at any institution of higher learning.

Some people, myself included, consider Buddhism to be a philosophy rather than a religion. It's not easy to draw a clear line between the two and strong cases are made for both sides of this question.

Regardless of which side one might take on that question, the main difference that stands out is that buddhists do not worship any god(s) as part of practicing Buddhism. The Buddha is highly regarded as a teacher and as "the enlightened one" but not worshiped or deemed to be supernatural or a deity.

Answer 5

It depends on which religion you are talking about. Buddism is more of a belief system and does not worship a God.

Answer 6

It does not worship a God.
