Default Why is Buddhism way more superior than all the Monotheistic Religions?

It really isn't. There's no need to follow a religion in order to be moral, and the spiritual nonsense is just as pointless as any other religious ideology.

Because unlike Montheistic religions it never would claim to be superior.

Daphnae is right in many respects, you shouldn't need religion to be a good person, and there are parts of Buddhism that I find to be illogical and a bit hypocritical, but I think it's the right direction for religions, because it doesn't scare people into believing and it's a path to self awareness rather than a guidebook of rights and wrongs.


I think it's a really good path for people who struggle to find inner peace, because it's a path that teaches you how to calm your mind and slowly appreciate the world around you, perhaps it's not necessary to be moral, but in no way is it a bad thing.

Well Buddhism doesn't state anywhere that it is superior than any religion.

The central focus of most religions is God, or gods. But Buddhism is non-theistic. The Buddha taught that believing in gods was not useful for those seeking to realize enlightenment.

The Buddha said that we should not accept doctrines just because we read them in scripture or are taught them by priests. Instead of teaching doctrines to be memorized and believed, the Buddha taught how we can realize truth for ourselves. The focus of Buddhism is on practice rather than belief.

No war has ever come from Buddhism,
though it is very passive.
