  12.     I guess I'm curious to know which sect of Buddhism you're looking  
  13. at.  Is it Theravada, Mahayana, Nichiren Shoshu...?  Not all sects of  
  14. Buddhism are atheistic, as Buddhism often soaks up the religious beliefs  
  15. around it, although there is every reason to beleive that in original  
  16. form, Buddhism is inherently atheistic.
