    Perhaps you should do a little research of your own first, knowledge like everything in life is all the more valuable if you obtain it yourself.

    behold the Wikipedia entry -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism

    Um...Buddhism is half a millennium older than Christianity...

    Also, where are you getting worshipping money from?

    Ah Gareth, fun as always. I take it you could not find time to bother to even read the first paragraph in the link! If you had, you would have seen:
    Buddhism is a family of beliefs and practices considered by many to be a religion. Buddhism is based on the teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as "The Buddha" (the Awakened One), who lived in the northeastern region of the Indian subcontinent and likely died around 400 BCE. Buddhists recognize him as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end their suffering by understanding the true nature of phenomena, thereby escaping the cycle of suffering and rebirth (saṃsāra). Among the methods various schools of Buddhism apply towards this goal are: ethical conduct and altruistic behaviour, devotional practices, ceremonies and the invocation of bodhisatvas that help them achieve Nirvana, renunciation of worldly matters, meditation, physical exercises, study, and the cultivation of wisdom.

    Hardly a new world religion, and worshiping money, how wonderfully immature of you. Well since you have no time to learn a bit about this faith, then you hardly have and grounds on which to debate it, so I must assume you have a different agenda.
    Thank you for your short time here. I wish you peace in the future.
    Bye bye for a month
