I agree PoppaGator.

Buddhism is not a religion in the sense of, say, Christianity, Islam or Judaism in there there is no recognised deity, i.e. it is non-theistic. Also many practitioners, myself included, regard it as a philosophy for living one's life rather than a religion.

The majority of Buddhists, particularly in Eastern Buddhist schools, adhere to a strongly spiritual dimension but that is by no means universal and that is down to one's personal beliefs. Many Western Buddhists however tend to prefer an agnostic "dogma and belief-free" practice of the type described by Stephen Batchelor in his book Buddhism without Beliefs but, again, this is at the centre of some considerable debate in Buddhist circles (where would we be if everyone agreed on such things!).
