Atheist, what do you think of non divine religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism?

I think nothing of them, they are not trying to convert my children, or censor what I watch on TV. So long as they keep to themselves, I think they are great

i think they re fine.

usually my problem is with the people who follow the religion and how its scripture tells its followers to treat people.

if your religion is peaceful and doe sent say "convert them or kill them" then its fine with me.

I am beginning to formally follow Buddhism, but I feel that has been my natural inclination for a long time.

I believe the answers are within.

They seem to be less dangerous than monotheism, but the basic concept of appeal to authority is still flawed.

When I first left Christianity four years ago, I was heavily into Taoism. After further study I found that the only real way to find truth was within yourself. Buddhism and Taoism have some good concepts, but they have bad ones too, just like theistic religions.

I am now a happy agnostic.

Much less annoying. Better as philosophies than religions though.

I've only looked at Buddhism. It's all good. Zen is a little better though.

Better than having people knocking at your door trying to convert you.
I don't see any of these religions trying to undermine our education systems by trying to get creationism or intelligent design taught in schools.

I think they're incorrect, but I also think that they're not trying to force me to live how they want me to, so I generally ignore them.

All religions were created for people who want to waste their precious time with zero result at the end.

I love Buddhism, i think it's teachings are most relevant to life. At the same time I think Devinne religions all have something to offer and are meaningful to helping me not stress out. I guess I don't care much about salvation or anything like that.

They are free to think what they want as long as they don't try and convert others and spread their disease around.

I have to make some corrections if you will not mind. The religions you mentioned as non-divine. I do not know where did you get the word but to tell you frankly...those religions were formed with the philosophy that one is primarily born divine before they learn the ways of man......the reason why they have to go inside themselves to find their origin or the source of their divinity whereas in your Christian belief you took it as you were born with original sin that is why you have to be baptized. Please make research before you shoot an unfounded question.

I'm not an atheist, but, I'll give my input on these 3 anyway.

Personally, I don't consider any religion to be non-divine. Nor do I agree with the term "atheistic religion." I consider that to be an oxymoron.

Buddhism & Taoism are both polytheistic, & Confucianism is monotheistic(although Taoism & Confucianism are both complementary religions). True, an atheist may be able to follow these 3 religions, but, there again, they can also follow Judaism without believing in God also.
