Buddhism is best thought of as a set of practices designed to reduce suffering (dissatisfaction, troubles) rather than as a religion. There is no creed in Buddhism that practitioners have to accept. Furthermore, since there is no God or God-concept in Buddhism, there's nothing necessarily supernatural about it either.
The concept of Buddhism is only about 2 or 3 centuries old; it was due to western explorers and missionaries. People who simply thought of themselves as following the Way were all categorized as being of the same kind, which has resulted in many misunderstandings.
Buddhists are practitioners--not believers. The practices that the Buddha recommended that his followers test for themselves were designed to replace the prevalent common poisons of greed, hostility, and delusion that cause suffering with extraordinary practices (such as meditation) promoting clarity, insight, and present-moment awareness that cause abiding peace and ease.

What are some of the central values of Zen Buddhism?
The dissatisfaction (suffering, anguish, trouble) we experience does not happen accidentally. It is caused. The chief purpose of Zen Buddhism is the same as the chief purpose of all Buddhist practices, namely, the end of dissatisfaction. Ultimately, it is ego that causes the greediness, hostility, and delusion, which are the three poisons, that causes dissatisfaction. So the chief values of Zen Buddhism have to do with the antidotes to these poisons. Ego-delusion is undermined by clarity, insight, and present-moment awareness. This is the way to freedom, the way to abiding peace and ease. .
