Buddhism - Cool religion. Stands for all the good stuff without the bad stuff - Evangelicals, Science denial. However, there is no evidence for Nibbana.
Buddhism: Interesting philosophy, many good points.
Christianity: Fairy Tale designed to keep people submissive to religious leaders.
Islam: Fairy Tale designed to keep people submissive to religious leaders.
Buddhism is interesting and does not necessarily require belief in a supernatural deity. Christianity, Islam, etc. are of no interest because I don't believe in any god.
Buddhism, as I understand it, is more a philosophy rather than a religion (though some sects revere the Buddha as a deity). I have less of a problem with philosophy because they don't rely on supernatural intervention; at their core they're ways to live life, which can be experimented with, and whose results can be verified (at least on a level of personal satisfaction). Usually they're not held as divine, infallible truths, nor are non-adherents pressured or threatened to follow that particular path.
The same cannot be said of Christianity and Islam.
As a Buddhist, we're essentially atheists as it applies to the concept of an omnipotent creator being. We find that such a being cannot logically exist.
I don't have a problem with Buddhism in the sense that it isn't threatening to take away basic human rights from others who are not Buddhist (unlike the other two).
Atheists are mainly the product of both Christianity and Buddhism. There is negligible to almost none from Islam.
It was unfortunate that non-sensible concept of god preached in both make their followers abandon the religions in wagons.
Buddhism by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince in India who left the palace and became the first Buddha, and the teaching uses own strength to earn salvation, so that they will be reborn (reincarnation) into a better person and not animal.
Islam by Prophet Muhammad, the teaching is through obeying the Laws of Quran to earn the mercy of God.
Christianity by Jesus Christ, the core teaching is to receive salvation for free from the finished work of Jesus Christ, and then start a journey of a new person living to be like Christ.
