Buddhism is only a religion in the context of Western religious thought.

The basis of Buddhism is that it does not prove anything. It only offers a Path to attain a more skillful way of handling life to minimize pain and suffering.

Socially it offers a context of community with their fellow Buddhists, a common language of ambition and behavior, and a context for life's events.

However, for some people their religions and philosophies can be meaningful, comforting, annoying, a source of embarrassment, or (if they suffer from Synesthesia) a taste of lime.
