In the religion department i bet.
Who the fuck cares?
A lot of people. Redefining buddhism as NOT a religion has become important for some reason.
Buddhism is a life philosophy. Many, if not most Buddhists are atheist.
However, being as it does pertain to the supernatural, one could argue that it is a religion or at the very least a form of spirituality.
Those who are Buddhists who believe in reincarnation are influenced by the Hindi. You'll see it in Tibetan Buddhism most strongly.I thought buddhism believed in reincarnation. That's at least as bizarre as stigmata.

Yoga can be practiced as a physical exercise or as part of a meditation (involved in religion).
To make the blanket statement that all yoga is religious in nature is incorrect.
No. It is quite correct. that's like secular satanic infant sacrifice.
So, according to you, some yuppie doing the physical exercises, with no thought of the spiritual, is actually practicing the Hindu religion?
Could be. These things are sensitive.
lol
Absolutely insane. The yoga practiced by many people is no more a religious practice than someone drinking grape juice and eating crackers is communion.
Wait until praying towards mecca is just state prescribed exercise.
Good comment. Too bad it has absolutely nothing to do with what we are discussing.
