I'm interested in converting to either Taoism or Buddhism?

I'm thinking about converting from Christianity. I was raised in the church as a child but Christianity does not suit me any more. I believe that a change in ideals will help me find inner peace.

Taoism and Buddhism are the two I'm most-interested in -- could someone please point out how they differ, how they are the same, and their chief values?



Also, please -- my question is strictly about Taoism and Buddhism. It's annoying when people post answers that quote how conversion is a sin, or how I haven't experienced the true love of Christ. That's great that that religion works for you, but it doesn't work for me.

here you go
