Buddha had nothing to say about a God, for or against. But the philosophy has credos, rituals, prayers and a way to live the best you can. Taoism has no God, although there are human Immortals, there is a belief in a encompassing void, The Tao. Both are religions to me.

Agnoticism originally meant that God is too awesome to be proven, so why bother. It was changed to God may or may not exist.
I have a friend who claims he is an Atheist and does not believe in a religious God. But he DOES believe in flying saucers and advanced civilizations. So he has a religion , of sorts.

Despite of our great knowledge of the world since the French revolution, and the age of enlightenment; American Christians, and most Moslems are still too religious in comparison to the Europeans, the Jews, or the Asians.
