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.

@Entwistle

You say, "We exist, but not in the way we think..we exist..ie interdependently."

I concur.

Now, let us continue on the line of interdependentl existence, can you agree with me that we are ultimately dependent on God but God does not depend on us?

If we don't exist, God continues to exist.

If there is no God, then there is nothing but nothingness, end of everything - no more Yrger and no more Entwistle and no more Buddhism nor Christiansm nor atheism nor apple pie . . .

@yrger I did reply to you.

@yrger There is no god to depend upon. There never has been and there never will be.
Can you name me something that isn't interdependent? Something that exists of its own accord?
