True, buddhism is considered an eastern religion by many folks. I don't follow it religiously. But I do think most of what I have read about the buddhist make sense.
Also, in my statement, I was trying to seperate the "leaders" of the churches from the people of the churches. These are two very different things.
Thomas Jefferson would not attent a church meeting or bible study if a minister, priest, monk, etc. was leading the group. However, he would go if it were just the people.

Have you read any of Thich Naht Hahn? Fascinating stuff, especially his work on finding common ground with Judeo-Christian philosophy.
