View submission: Why Buddhism?
The entirety of Christianity is contingent on Jesus being the son of the Jewish god and rising from death (1 Corinthians 15:14). Christianity itself concedes the religion is without merit if their belief turns out to be false.
It is an admission that their religion is ultimately a cult of the dead. One that is not too different from the earlier Hellenic mystery cults, only with harsher, more bigoted penalties for rejecting it.
In a sense, Buddhism is the polar opposite of Christianity. There is no god watching over you, there is a path to escape suffering in this very life, and Buddhism lays out this path.
The philosophy and practices of Buddhism can immensely benefit a follower of any of the world religions.
There's nothing here!
