He did not. We know that he helped the Buddhism to expand, by building temples and promoting the freedom of religion. But he was more on the philosophical side of Buddhism as a Greek, see the questions of King Milinda. Still because of him and earlier King Asoka, Buddhism became a religion from a philosophical movement.
