Question
What does Buddhism think of other religions?

Answer
Hello Henrik,
Bear in mind that there are many kinds of Buddhism and that I speak only for Advayavada Buddhism. However, in general Buddhists do not believe in a creator god nor in the soul and they therefore consider religions who do so as mistaken and for this reason ultimately harmful. On the other hand, most Buddhisms shun life in one way or the other, which is a negative attitude, but Advayavadins love the world and life and Nirvana means for us total and perfect reconciliation with overall existence as it truly is. Maybe you might want to visit our wbsite for more information, also about our position with respect to rebirth, etc.
Kind regards,
Advayavadananda.
