Are Buddhists really atheists?

Atheists in the West claim that Buddhists are atheists, so they (the atheists in the West) feel better that they are not the only atheists in the world.

My purpose is to ask Buddhists whether they really deny that God exists.

From my part, I know from my reason and intelligence that God exists.

So, paging Buddhists, please come over and let us discuss whether you Buddhists really deny God exists.

Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy?

After prolonged investigation, here is my finding:

Philosophy consists essentiallly in man thinking and thinking and thinking on everything.

Religion consists essentially in man praying and praying and praying to superior beings for all sorts of needs.

What then is Buddfhism?

In the Far East it is a religion.
