From the radical materialists' viewpoint, Buddhism is an ideology
that accepts the existence of mind, and is thus a faith-oriented
system like other religions. However, since Buddhism does not accept
the concept of
a Creator God
but emphasizes instead self-reliance and
the individual's own power and potential,
other religions regard Buddhism as a kind of atheism. |
