Best Answer

There are around 376 million Buddhists worldwide and many more who empathize with Buddhism but who do not consider themselves Buddhists.

It should be emphasized that Buddha is not "someone to believe in" (as with a god). He was a teacher who created a philosophy based on understanding one's place in the universe, in order to avoid suffering and materialistic desires.As a christian i believe that Budah is a false GOD which does not nead to be worshiped.# Chloe Gage
